Sorcova Pinot Grigio 2020

Really clean, light green apple aromas. There’s two different lemons going on here too, one rich lemon-zest aroma, the other light, tingly sherbet – fantastically appealing. A dry, refreshing white with nice balance.

The picked estate grown grapes were harvested early in the morning –to avoid heat which causes Pinot Grigio to become too pink during vinification. The grapes were lightly crushed and then further cooled to 8° C before a gentle pressing in state of the art vacuum presses. Free run juice is separated from the heavier press fractions and decanted in stainless steel temperature controlled tanks – for 48 to 72 hours - until perfectly clarified. The clear juice is transferred to stainless steel fomenters and inoculated with selected yeast to begin fermentation which took 3 weeks at 10°C. The wine is kept on fine lees until bottling. Twist off caps are used to maintain freshness and the quality of the wine.
