The remaining 40% comes from a grower vineyard, in the Omaka valley, creating vibrancy and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD MATCHING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003ePinot Gris pairs well with spicy dishes like Chinese, Indian and Mexican with its sweetness, body and spicy aromas.

This is achieved by a small portion (4% in 2024) fermenting with ‘wild’ yeast in older 500 L French oak barrels for complexity and the balance being fermented in stainless steel tanks with a select yeast for varietal expression. The fermentation is stopped with a small amount of residual sugar, but still gives the perception of being dry. The individual components stay in tank and barrel for 10 months to create texture in the mouth, before blending and bottling in January 2025. This wine was made without the use of animal products and is vegan and carnivore friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catalina Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44159163400425,"sku":"CATPGR22-6","price":193.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/products\/winesource-2022-02-16T083842.886_d100eb7d-7236-46af-bbf1-f85d2cf430fb.jpg?v=1671699043","url":"https:\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/products\/catalina-sounds-pinot-gris-2025-6pack-13-5-750ml","provider":"The Wine Providore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
