Vino Intrepido Ramato Pinot Grigio "Grey Matter" 2022

"The second Grey Matter pinot grigio was harvested on the first day of vintage in February and received about eight hours on skins before it was pressed to stainless steel tank. After cold settling the fermentation started in earnest, mostly in tank but two mature barriques were used as well. Once dry the wine was consolidated, cold stabilised and then racked several times before bottling, where it had a minimal filtration.

Though I attempt to limit how much I do in the winery there is a lot of thought that goes into them. Decisions like which varieties to choose for which styles, what region and vineyard to source from, when to harvest and how to capture their best, all take time and consideration. Thus, I liked calling this wine Grey Matter, as not only did such an uncomplicated wine take brain activity, but the colour of the wine reminds of brains." -Winemaker Notes

Ramato is pinot grigio that receives some skin contact, resulting in anything from a blush to a light red. This wine is full flavoured with acacia, nashi pear, ginger and apple scents. Tangy to taste and lively in flavour bringing fruit concentration and savouriness to the glass.
