Te Mānia
Nelson Pinot Gris 2009

Te Mānia Pinot Gris is a soft, subtle, fruity and elegant wine.  This approachability makes it an excellent match for many different foods and cooking styles from spicy Asian dishes to grilled seafood.

Nose:  Fragrant floral honeysuckle aromas mixed with tangelo and apple notes.

Palate:  Delicious citrus, rock melon and pear with rich caramelised apple flavours. Hints of Turkish delight and rose petals. A smooth, long lingering finish.

Vintage:   Beautifully ripe fruit was hand harvested in March after a superb, long, dry summer. Lightly cropped vines at less than 2 tonnes per acre.  Whole bunch pressed.  Tiny berries produced wonderful concentrated fruit flavours which were preserved by fermenting the wine at cool temperatures.

Alcohol: 13.5%      Residual Sugar: 7.5 g/L      Acidity:  5.1 g/L

****Stars Cuisine, Top 12 NZ Pinot Gris

“Fresh and ripe, this youthful wine displays peach, pear and floral characters on the nose. The palate is juicy and appealing showing just a touch of sweetness (7 g/l), smooth texture and well balanced acidity providing a lovely refreshing mouthfeel. A friendly and pleasant wine with plenty of mouth-pleasing flavours.”****Stars 

- Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

“Aromatic, with mouthfilling body, a slightly oily texture and dryish stonefruit, pear and spice flavours, showing very good depth.”  Recommended Winestate
