Valli 'Real McCoy' Gibbston Pinot Gris Orange 2021
Regular price $45.00 Sale price $34.20 Save $10.80Tasting Notes
Vintage 2021 is our 7th release of a “skins ferment” Pinot Gris from Gibbston. The combination of this versatile variety with our modern take on an ancient winemaking technique and this beautifully fragrant subregion continues to be a winning one. Experience is also starting to pay dividends. This Valli wine is perhaps the one that most obviously expresses seasonality. Each vintage showcases a consistent, recognizable core that is dressed in intriguingly different vintage characters.
The 2021 growing season was naturally low cropping and disease free allowing us to play with different levels of whole cluster in the four ferments. The bone dry wine went through a fill malolactic fermentation and was bottled after 11.5 months in oak. The wine was not filtered so natural sediment may occur. Each year we see a greater sense of place in our Valli Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris and we continue to see our special place in the Real McCoy Orange Pinot Gris. This reinforces everything we believe about sub regionality and expression of site. The Real McCoy also highlights our intention to embrace the beauty and honesty of seasonality.
We have discovered that this is a great wine for cellaring as the evolution is slow and the wine continues to improve with time.
