Tasting Notes
Aroma
This high-altitude Pinot Gris displays great aromatic lift. Potpourri, cashews and lyches notes leap from the glass. Hints of crushed rock and lees character add complexity. The perfume is persistent and intriguing, always bringing you back for another sniff.
Appearance
Medium straw with green flecks and brilliant acidity.
Palate
A powerful Pinot Gris with preserved lemon and pear flavours. The fruit is powerful, long and elegantly defined. These fruit flavours are complexed by creamy barrel ferment characters such as nougat and enveloped with fine grapefruit pith texture giving extra intrigue. Cleansing acidity on the finish.
Vinification
Hand harvested fruit was firmly whole bunch pressed to release the full Pinot Gris flavour profile. Natural ferment occurred in older French oak barrels. The wine was left to unwind and age slowly on its ferment lees to add generosity and complexity. After 6 months the wine was racked and filtered prior to bottling in September 2025.
Cellaring Potential
Drink now through 2028.
Food Matching
Seafood laksa, San Choi Bao, Korean BBQ chicken.
