Description

Kenzie Wines' Beautiful Strangers is an aromatic orange blended from three varieties: Pinot Gris (53%), Gewürztraminer (39%) and Chardonnay (8%). The grapes are all sustainably farmed, dry-grown from a single vineyard in Waiohinganga in New Zealand's Esk Valley. Handpicked Gewürztraminer were destemmed and naturally fermented as whole berries for 10 days.

The Pinot Gris was whole-berry and whole-bunch fermented (50/50) and stayed on skins for 17 days. The portions were blended at the press and completed their co-fermentation in tank and in old puncheon wine barrels. The wine was then left to undergo natural malolactic fermentation and matured over 4 months. This wine has not gone through any fining or filtration and has a minimal sulphur addition.
