Grapes are sourced from highly specialised sites, some of which have been growing Pinot Gris for many years. Throughout the growing season, Ta_Ku seek to isolate parcels of Pinot Gris that are just right for this style of wine. Fruit is harvested when full physiological ripeness is reached and all requisite varietal characters of nut, stonefruit and spice have been achieved. Following the crush and a cold soak, the must is inoculated to select yeasts before vinification in a mix of fermenters. Winemaking is gentle, to avoid unwanted colour extraction and to retain the fresh varietal expression of Pinot Gris. Upon completion, batches are racked and assembled before bottling into the final wine.
