Roses and ripe orchard fruits, with a hint of
dried spice.
Appearance
Fine yellow with a slight golden tinge.
Palate
Juicy and balanced, a Pinot Gris with
personality. Creamy and full of zesty acid line.
Vinification
Pinot Gris grown on mature vines in the Adelaide Hills at
~400m elevation. D1V7 selection of the variety which has
small, uniformed clusters of fruit and less colour than other
clones. Fruit was machine harvested in the cool of the
night, then destemmed and gently pressed in one cut. The
juice was then oxidatively handled without any sulphur
additions, so as not to bind colour or phenolic compounds.
Fermentation was completed to dryness over nine days.
The wine then spent several months resting on full yeast
lees to add texture and complexity.
Food Matching
Fresh Vietnamese BBQ Prawns. Nom nom
nom!
