Lurton Piedra Negra Pinot Grigio (750ml)

Made from Pinot Gris (aka Pinot Grigio grapes).  The Lurton family were the first to plant Pinot Gris in Argentina.  Their estate is situated at the foothills of the Andes, at an altitude of 1100 m, on gravelly well draining and infertile soil mixed with volcanic moraines.  The climate is semi desert characterised by lots of sunshine hours and minimal rainfall.  The high diurnal temperature shifts make for wines with lots of ripe fruit and fresh acidity. The grapes are machine harvested and feremented at low temperatures with selected yeasts.  The wine ages on the fine lees for three months in stainless steel tanks undergoing weekly pump overs to give more body and palate texture to the final wine.
