History: The philosophy of Oyster Bay is to produce fine, distinctly regional Super Premium wines that are elegant and assertive, with glorious fruit flavours. Oyster Bay produces wines from the renowned regions of Marlborough and Hawke's Bay.
Regional information: The Hawke's Bay summer growing season experiences plentiful sunshine, but due to its inland elevation also experiences cooler night-time temperatures that allows fruit to ripen slowly. The day/night temperature difference keeps acid levels high in the grapes throughout the crucial ripening period, ensuring the development of the crisp acidity, flavour intensity and aromatic characteristics of our Pinot Grigio wines.
Vinification: The fruit was destemmed and transferred to tank presses where the free-run juice was run off and separated before gentle pressing of the remaining fruit. The juice was then clarified, racked into stainless steel fermentation tanks. Post fermentation, the wine was lees stirred and aged in tank to add softness and texture. The wine was racked and bottled young to ensure that the aromatic, crisp and elegant varietal characters were retained.
