The grapes were harvested according to flavour and skin ripeness. To express the purity of fruit flavours from our sitethe majority of the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks. A 25% portion was fermented in aged oak barriques and another in skins for aromatic spice and texture. The combination gives a wine full of varietal characters that express the site here at URLAR.
Individual parcels of Pinot Noir are hand harvested and destemmed for fermentation in tank. Fermentation by indigenous yeasts from our organically farmed vineyard drive the fermentation. Time on skins is monitored by taste and the ferments are gently plunged daily. Pressing off and barrelling down into French oak barriques (20% new). Natural malolactic fermentation in barrel occurs and completes in spring or before. The wine is aged on lees and racked prior to the next harvest for blending and bottling.
The 2022 Organic Sauvignon Blanc is tropical and rich on the nose. The wine leads with salted pineapple, peach, brine and stewed apples. In the mouth, it is broad, flat and simple. There is fruit there, but its final, best year might be this one. Drink up. 85 Points Wine Advocate
Goose Bay Pinot Gris is an homage to the great Pinot Gris wines of Alsace, with a distinct New World edge. Sourced from Marlborough, where incredible white wine grapes seem to grow in every nook and cranny, the wine has a brilliant gold color from four months' aging in French oak.
