Tatty Bogler Pinot Gris 2009
‘TattyBogler’ is wine grown in the dramatic backdrop of Otago, New Zealand, a region rich in stunning alpine landscapes and warming summer sunshine. Otago is now producing some of the worlds finest Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. In 2002, three families with Scottish ancestry and established wine credentials embarked on a dream to embrace and enjoy part of the land they had grown up in. The result: ‘TattyBogler’. A ‘TattyBogler’, a solitary effigy, was often used to protect the precious crops from predators and spirits such as ‘hobgoblins’ allowing the harvest to prosper.
Pinot Gris grapes grown in the region appearing to capture both the stonefruit flavours, aromatic herbal aromas & deliciously balanced acidity that truly defines great Pinot Gris. It’s a variety that’s prone to over cropping, needs a lot of hard work and ripens variably – all challenges that focus your attention.
Tasting Notes
Our Otago Pinot Gris is a seductive wine, alluring more rip peach, winter pears, citrus fruits and aromatic herbs – lavender, thyme & rosemary. The palate shows excellent weight, richness and texture with the merest touch of fruit, sweetness to temper its fresh acidity. |
