Description
The fruit for this Pinot Gris comes from a couple of spots in the Tamar Valley: Jinglers Creek in Relbia; and a mature vineyard at Rosevears. It’s a combination of whole-bunch pressed and destemmed fruit, which fermented in both barrels and tank. Havilah took a very simple approach to the winemaking: it was left on lees for as long as possible before the loss of any primary fruit character, then left to rest for a few months before racking, and finally blended and bottled without filtration.
Fresh cut pear, apple and stone fruit characters that typify what makes a Tasmania Pinot Gris so very delicious.
