Sharpham Pinot Gris Wild Ferment
A zesty and textured wine that’s a brand new style from Sharpham. The nose has vibrant white nectarine, peach skin, apple cider and tangerine. The palate is bursting with more sour stone fruit, a grippy texture from the skin contact, a taught and grapefruit like acidity with a touch of spice on the mid palate. This wine is unfined and unfiltered so may contain some harmless sediment. We recommend a serving temperature of around 12 degrees for this wine.

WINE MAKING
The grapes were hand harvested in October before being removed from the stems and crushed. We let the juice soak in contact with the skins for one to three weeks to extract some flavour, colour and tannin before transferring the free run juice into stainless steel where we waited for the fermentation to take place naturally by relying upon wild yeasts. The wine is bottled without any fining or filtration in order to maximis flavour and texture and can therefore appear slightly hazy with some harmless sediment.
FOOD PAIRING
A great pairing with fresh grilled fish, crab or as an aperitif or aromatic Asian dishes.
