✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Oyster Bay captures the essence of New Zealand's cool-climate winemaking. While Marlborough made the brand famous, they turned to the historic region of Hawke's Bay on the North Island to craft their Pinot Grigio. Hawke's Bay, with its ancient river beds, alluvial soils, and warm maritime climate, provides the perfect sanctuary for this grape. By naming it 'Pinot Grigio' rather than 'Pinot Gris', Oyster Bay signals a stylistic nod to the crisp, vibrant, and refreshing Italian style. The wine is fermented slowly at cool temperatures in stainless steel to preserve the pure, expressive aromas of stone fruit, fresh pear, and floral notes, backed by a signature mineral edge derived from the region's gravelly soils.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Oyster Bay blev grundlagt i slutningen af 1980'erne og er ejet af Delegat Group. Huset opnåede international stjernestatus, da dets allerførste årgang 1990 vandt det prestigefyldte Marquis de Goulaine-trofæ for bedste Sauvignon Blanc ved International Wine and Spirit Competition i London i 1991. Vingården henter sine druer fra førsteklasses, kølige vinmarker i Marlborough og Hawke's Bay og har dedikeret sig til at indfange de strålende, rene frugtaromaer og den spændstige friskhed, som er helt unik for New Zealands maritime terroir. Med fokus på bæredygtig vindyrkning og moderne temperaturstyret vinifikation skaber Oyster Bay vine præget af druetypisk klarhed, friskhed og umiddelbar drikkeglæde. Porteføljen anføres af den verdensberømte Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc og en elegant Pinot Noir, ledsaget af udtryksfulde fortolkninger af Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Merlot samt den mousserende Cuvée Rosé.
