Winemaking

Season this was a vintage which came along to test us all! It was a slow start, with cooler conditions for most of the ripening season. . The smaller yields and moderate canopy meant that we were able to take the pinot gris in relatively early in the season (22 March) avoiding any disease pressure.
Winemaking picked early in the morning, the pinot gris received a little skin contact in transit to the winery. We watched the press cut carefully, avoiding excess colour and phenolic pickup whilst ensuring we extracted enough body from the skins. Post fermentation we held a small portion of the wine in oak, with the larger portion staying in tank on lees with regular stirring.
ALC/VOL 13.5%

Reviews / Awards

A nicely formed pinot gris with crisp nashi pear, green apple and grapefruit tones and hints of fennel, crushed stone, almond blossom and pine nuts. Clean and vivid with just a slide of pithy texture and a vivacious mineral-laden acid drivetrain, finishing dry and thirst-slakingly pure. -Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
