Those vines went in during the late 1990s and are pushing thirty, which shows in the concentration. Pat Underwood left the fruit hanging a little longer to build phenolic ripeness and fruit generosity, then destemmed 70 per cent Pinot Gris and 30 per cent Riesling together into a 3700-litre cement tank for four weeks on skins. Cofermenting, he says, buys complexity in perfume, acid and phenolics. The wine was drained off skins without pressing, spent a short while in oak puncheons and finished in stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLayered perfume, orchard fruit turned slightly savoury, and tannin so fine it reads as texture more than grip. Drink it at 12 to 14 degrees, cool but not cold, with charcuterie, roast chicken thighs or a dish of white beans and rosemary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
