Organic viticulture, bottled unfined and unfiltered, 13% ABV. After a very hot summer, the grapes were harvested early to avoid overripeness. This is reflected in this fresh and minerally wine, which displays notes of citrus and gooseberry, with a touch of apple. The finish is relatively light and dry. A modest Pinot Gris, which should have a few more years in the tank.
Organic viticulture, bottled unfined and unfiltered, 14% ABV. Attractive nose with subtle but clearly recognisable varietal aromatics (roses, lychees), and earthy minerality; the palate has good volume with a nice expression of ripe fruit (orchard, tropical), ripe but fresh acidity, and a silky texture; good resonance and length on the finish with a note of fresh ginger.
Organic viticulture. A blend of 2017, 2019 and 2020, 11.5% ABV. Lovely Riesling acidity and nice citrus fruit, hint of warm earth, crisp palate with light body, good resonance and length.
Organic viticulture, 12.5% ABV. This shows the potential of Eyra as it ages. Still energetic and fresh, and the primary and secondary aromas and flavours are complemented by a lovely spicy, honeyed richness. Gentle mousse, light but supple finish with good length.
Organic viticulture, 12.5% ABV. In a similar vein as the 2015, but more subtle and developed in its honeyed aromatics on the nose, and the palate remains remarkably crisp and lively - quite cool and minerally. The finish feels a bit grippy, and not as comfortable as the 2015. A gastronomic wine - probably best with food.
Organic viticulture. A blend of the 2015, 2011 and 2010 vintages, 12% ABV. Really bright and energetic for such a mature wine, with honeyed, smoky, spicy complexity on the nose, very dry and quite grippy palate but with some comfort and fruit, tight and direct finish. On the austere side.
