About The Wine
Pinot Gris from Mount Gambier direct pressed for soft extraction of colour and phenolics. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to showcase the purity of fruit and left on lees for 5 months for a gentle yeasty complexity and texture. Made with varietal perfume and crisp texture in mind.
The colour has a golden hue with ever so light pink reflections. Beautifully expressive, full of orchard fruits, yellow pears and red apples, tangerine peel, honeyed blossoms and a hint of tropical fruits like pineapple skin. Then comes freshly baked brioche, that tasty leesy complexity. Flavours have a lovely ginger spice, a crunchy bite that makes your mouth water and a dust of cinnamon to top things off. A true, expressive and textural Gris with a great refreshment factor.
