Kirameki Single Vineyard Pinot Gris 2017
Crafted in a dry style, this Pinot Gris displays delicious aromas of melon, apricot and orange zest. With white peach, pear and a hint of spice on the palate, it has fresh and vibrant acidity with a lingering finish.
The Japanese word 'Kirameki' signifies the rocks that shimmer alongside the one hectare of sloping Pinot Gris vines at the Northern tip of our vineyard.
Awards
"It’s a style with cornflower confection, poached pear and all manner of soft, pipfruit and sweet roasted fennel and lemon notes on the nose and palate. Crisp, crunchy, acidity, pinprick textures on the tongue and gums, silky generosity and it has richness, generosity and yet has some dryness on the finish. Lovely and embracing and refreshing."

Food Match
The Bald Hills 'Kirameki' Central Otago Pinot Gris 2017 being a dry style wine, but fruity and flavoursome lends itself beautifully to pairing with spicy foods. We recommend that you try it with Asian-style dishes, seafood, and chicken. It is also delicious simply chilled, then sipped while sitting in the garden with the sun on your back and nibbling on julienned vegetables dipped in sour cream and dukkah.
Winemaking Notes
The fruit was hand-harvested on 4 April 2017 (24 brix) and whole bunch pressed to tank and the juice was inoculated with selected wine yeasts. The juice was fermented in a stainless steel tank. The fermentation was stopped retaining 4.9 grams/Litre of residual sugar.
Tasting Note
Pale golden straw with clear hues. The nose is fragrant with ripe pear, peach, white flower, pineapple, blueberry and orange zest. The palate is dry with mouth-filling ripe pear, nectarine, spice and ginger. Creamy textured with nice complexity. The acidity is fresh without dominating and helps to keep the wine-focused. The finish is long.
