2023 Balmy Nights 'Amber' (Skin-contact Pinot Gris + Sauvignon Blanc)

A$29.00

Hilltops, NSW

Farmed organically though not certified, sourced from the Freeman vineyard in Hilltops, NSW.

Wild fermented together without adjustments; The Pinot Gris (75%)
was destemmed into stainless steel along with the destemmed Sauvignon Blanc (25%), both were on skins for 20 days, seeing pump overs occur twice daily for the first week, and then left to macerate for the remainder of time on skins. Pressed & returned to stainless & old oak where the resulting wine remained on lees for 9 months before bottling. Unfined & unfiltered.
Red apple skin, orange peel, pear - a juicy & slurpy orange wine
