Koerner Pigato 2021
Clare Valley, South Australia, AustraliaFrom Watervale's Gullyview Vineyard, and its terra rossa soils, this 2007-planted vermentino will have you thinking it's the most proper iced tea you've ever drunk. And that's a great thing. It was destemmed with 50% whole berry for a native ferment in open top steel, and with twice daily pigeage over its 20 days on skins. The free run and pressings were combined before resting in steel for 7 months. It was bottled without fining or filtration. Pouring a hazy light peach hue, this textural, slight (10.8%) dry wine draws honeysuckle, tangerine peel, clementine along the crunchy palate, with finely stencilled tannins pinning in the sides. Fantastic freshness and purity, this is a very well-handled orange.Tasted: 04 April 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $50.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
