Description
"Dry, but certainly not austere, pinot gris with classic pear, quince, ginger and subtle spice flavours. Silken-textured wine with a lingering finish. An ethereal pinot gris with impressive purity and subtle power" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jul 2018
"Bright, light golden-yellow colour with a suggestion of blush and some depth, lighter edged. The nose is fresh and full with well-packed aromas of ripe yellow stonefruits entwined with exotic florals along with an amalgam of pear fruit and some fresh fermentation esters. The aromatics show good depth and grows in volume with aeration. Dryish to taste and medium-full bodied, the palate has rich and succulent fruit flavours of yellow stonefruits and pears, with exotic frloral fragrances, some honeysuckle and a little esters lift. The palate is lively with good fruit weight and presence, and soft, lacy acidity balancing the near unctuousness and alcoholic power. The flavours carry to a long, aromatic finish. This is a rich fruited dry Pinot Gris with good weight and flavours of stonefruits, florals, pears and honeysuckle. Match with Asian and Middle Eastern fare over the next 4 years. Handpicked fruit, clones Sel Ovaille and 2/15, from Bendigo, WBP and cool-fermented in stainless-steel with 10% in seasoned oak" Raymond Chan, Jul 2018
Bright with light straw colour, the nose is soft and full, with well concentrated aromas of white and yellow stone fruits along with subtle pear and honeysuckle elements. A drier style Pinot Gris with a voluptuous palate that features a softly rich melange of stone fruits, floral and minerals, with nuances of honey and flint. The flavours beautifully balanced and harmonious and follow a fine textured line with excellent acid poise.
Grapes for this wine were handpicked, whole bunch pressed with a small parcel macerated. Fermented cool, with regular lees stirring to add palate weight and further complexity. 10% fermented in neutral French oak barrels. Certified organic fruit.
