Oastbrook Pinot Blanc 2022

100% Alsatian Clone Pinot Blanc, the grapes were handpicked, and pressed in October. After low temperature fermentation to accentuate the thiol aromas the wine was left in tank over winter but not allowed to go to malolactic fermentation, the juice was very clear and required minimal fining and developed a splash of fruits and flavours of fruit with crispy acidity. The wine was bottled in March 2023.

The wine presents a lemon/light gold colour, a generous bouquet of apple, pear and honeysuckle and a hint of stone fruits: white peach, nectarine, pear on the nose followed by well-defined and complex fruit characteristics, with fresh crisp acidity and minerality with plenty of character on the palate.

It is very well balanced between the fruit and the acidity leaving a rounded mouth feel and long finish of fruit and freshness, presenting moderate alcohol.
