Winemaking

Grapes for the Priestess Pinot Gris were grown in the cooler Te Awanga and Mangatahi sub-regions. Soil types include clay and free-draining silt over river gravels. The combined differences in micro-climate and soil types allows us to build a wine with complexity and interest.

Fruit for this reserve wine is hand harvested and whole bunch pressed. A total of 50% of the juice was barrel fermented in old oak barrels, the remaining portion cool fermented in stainless steel tanks to maintain fruit intensity. The wine remained on gross lees for added texture for five months, before bottling.
