Transparency. Not just visually bright in the glass but an unimpeded look through the wine to the fruit of the vineyard. The 2020 Providore Pinot Gris captures the essence of a summer spent in the Gibbston Valley. The cooler mornings reflected in the bright acidity and freshness. The long warm evenings lending ripe stone fruit and citrus to the experience. A perfect summer wine offering great fruit intensity and a refreshing, balanced finish.
Winemaking Details:
This single vineyard Pinot Gris was picked by hand on the 8th of May 2020. Coming exclusively from the cooler Gibbston Valley gives the wine its brightness and fruit intensity. The fruit was pressed and whole bunches and the pristine juice was cold settled. Once racked it was inoculated with a yeast selected for its ability to showcase the crisp stone fruit characters of the vineyard. The fermentation was stopped retaining a touch of natural sugar to perfectly balance the fresh citrus notes.
Pairs with:
Perfect for outdoor summer cuisine such as grilled fish with lemon or fresh garden salad with vinaigrette. Serve chilled and outdoors is our serving suggestion.
