The fruit is tight and elegant with a crystalline quality. Poised and precise with hints of lemongrass and fresh ginger, the wine is bright and fine but has depth and a fresh, long finish.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;THE RUDE MECHANICALS… a roughly-hewn and hybrid bunch of hapless hams whose play-within-a-play lives as a list within our list, not necessarily to be repeated but purely to express some individual urge – an itch scratched, a plan made flesh, an idea finally hatched, some sudden rush of blood, just something fresh.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Viognier and Pinot Gris are harvested separately, using premium dry-grown vineyards exclusively within NSW. Both varieties are harvested at maximum ripeness to achieve the richest expression of varietal character.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Viognier is fermented cold in stainless steel and is then left on yeast lees for 4 months prior to racking and filtration : this gives a rich and round texture, with typical up-front mouth-filling varietal flavor. The Pinot Gris is also predominately fermented cold in stainless steel, with up to 20% being transferred to barrique to undergo barrel fermentation. This portion takes on a finer spicy length.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Fantastically versatile, this is great on its own or match with seafood, vegetable tempura, roast chicken with creamy sauces – a variety of dishes.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;i\u0026gt; “A great blend, great price, great name – and also versatile on the food front – what’s not to like? This juxtaposes nettles and marjoram alongside yellow stone fruit and an almost Gewurz-like florality, while the palate has more stone fruit ‘with a lick of spice’ and lychee and cucumber notes. Matches everything from pork belly to Asian spiced prawns, chillie and mango salsa.”\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; Sommelier Wine Awards 2012.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45131942854838,"sku":"35895","price":3.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/therudemechanicals-ephemera-vi_35895_01_a0ffaec8_b4ad3a27-ddfa-440e-8f68-f4183acd3600.jpg?v=1779115737","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/therudemechanicals-ephemera-viognierpinotgris-35895","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
