Artelium Pinot Gris
A delightful still white wine with inviting pear, tropical fruit notes, and a refreshing, creamy finish
Artelium Pinot Gris from East Sussex, England, is a delightful still white wine, crafted in a dry style from 100% Pinot Gris grapes. Vinified with an initial high-temperature fermentation and 6 months on gross lees with bi-monthly battonage, it develops an oily, fatter texture. The nose offers inviting notes of pear, fresh pollen, mango, and banana. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with a gently creamy texture and refreshing acidity, culminating in a long, complex, fruit-filled finish with hints of baked apple. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine is ideal with flavourful salads and meaty fish such as fresh mackerel and tuna steaks.

Vinification
The grapes are crushed and pressed as two separate parcels and fermented in one vessel, enabling the characters of different sites to marry. The wine initially fermented at a high temperature, giving the wine a more oily and fatter texture. Fermentation lasted 21 days and once fermented the wine is left to rest on gross lees for 6 months. During this period, the wine goes through battonage twice a month, before filtering and bottling. to better define and extract flavour from lees and to find balance between acid/texture balance on the palate, filtered and bottled.
