Tall Horse Pinot Grigio 750ml

Habitat

The grapes used to make this vivacious white wine come from the Breedekloof wine region, where the cold, wet winters and dry, warm summers provide the ideal breeding ground for this cultivar. Pinot Grigio is one of the seasons earliest ripening grapes, which means the crop is greeted with extra song and dance by our harvest and winemaking teams, raring to go after their year-end break.

Gestation

In the cellar, the grapes are sorted, crushed and separated from the skins to ensure a brilliant clear colour. Cold fermentation follows at 14°C for 3 weeks. The dry fermented wine is then racked off the primary lees and stays on the fine lees for 5 months for voluptuous body and mouthfeel.

Character

Judging by the bright, vivid citrus and yellow fruit flavours on the nose and palate, you would never say this is a grey grape! The ripe stone fruit and honeyed notes are well balanced by a lively acidity, which whets the appetite for more.

For Your Drinking Pleasure

With its lively fresh fruit character, this wine is best enjoyed young and well-chilled. The exotic palette of flavours is a great conversation starter, so serve it as a herd-pleasing welcome drink along with fresh seafood and Mediterranean salads.
