Elephant Hill Le Phant Blanc 750ml

2014 was an excellent vintage for the second season in a row - sustained, consistent and slightly cooler than 2013 except the month of January which was warmer. A settled autumn then provided perfect ripening conditions which lead to an early harvest. The 2014 Le Phant Blanc is a blend of Pinot Gris (48%), Viognier (47%) and Gewurztraminer (5%) from our coastal Te Awanga Vineyard. The grapes were hand harvested, whole-bunch pressed and co-fermented. A small proportion was barrel fermented and the rest in stainless steel, temperature-controlled tanks.
