2024 Erste & Neue Pinot Grigio
A moreish Pinot Grigio that shows wonderful intensity and textural shape across the mouth watering palate.
In Alto Adige Pinot Grigio ranks as one of the most important varieties and altitude is king. Erste + Neue’s Pinot Grigio comes from some of their highest sites ranging in altitudes up to 800 metres that have an array of different soil types. Picked in late September to retain acidity and freshness, post fermentation the pressed juice spends about 6 months in 110-hectolitre neutral oak and is left on gross less to provide additional texture and palate weight.
Bright pale straw colour with a watery hue. Elevated pear and red apple skin aromas are trailed by hints of quince, delicate honeysuckle and spice notes. Delicious pear and red apple fruits show wonderful intensity and textural shape across the mouth watering palate. Notions of quince, lime and wet stone the undercard. Zingy acidity with a long moreish finish.
Drink over the next year.
