Tasting note
Bold nose, with notes of poached pear, toast and quince paste. The palate brings these notes together, alongside greengage plum, vanilla and melted butter. It's rich and full-bodied, textural, but finishing fresh on the palate.
Vinification
Made very similarly to the Carrick Chardonnay, the Pinot Blanc is hand-picked then brought to the winery where the fruit is crushed to extract flavour from the skin, before being pressed. Wild-fermented in barrel, it spends 8 months in oak (14% new oak), before blending and bottling.
Food Match
Smoked chicken, roasted pumpkin pasta, feta.
