Sperling 2021 Amber Pinot Gris 750ml

Our orange wine is a natural wine and made from 40% whole cluster, 40% whole berry and 20% pressed juice from hand picked Pinot Gris. Natural yeast and malolactic fermented, this wine has had nothing added and nothing taken away (no sulphites, or other additives, and no fining nor filtration).

Being unfiltered it is slightly cloudy; for a white wine it has a lot of colour, and is slightly orange. Aromatically it has hints of bergemont or earl gray tea, jasmine, and stone fruits, the palate is fresh and long with texture and elegance due to the stem fermentation. It finishes dry and fresh.

With food, it pairs similarly to sparkling wines, with so many things from starters to mains, white meat, fish, curry spicy, grilled red meat used a part of a dish (when steak is added to a salad, for example) and also good with pork in many forms including braised and BBQ.
