Description

  • Off-dry style
  • Poached pear
  • Brioche
  • Toasty ginger & spice

"An appealing wine that's rich and flavoursome with savoury toast, ginger, poached pear and brioche flavours. Slightly sweet but not at all cloying" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review

"Superbly rich and engaging, the bouquet shows spiced apple, baked pear, vanilla and brioche characters, followed by a sumptuous palate that is richly fruited and generously textured. The wine is multi-layered and immensely delectable with fabulous fruit intensity and seductive savoury nuances, finishing long and velvety. Style: Off-dry" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Bright, pale golden-yellow colour with some depth, lighter on the rim.  The nose is softly full with good depth and rounded concentration of yellow stonefruits, hints of apricot and nutty, smoky oak and a little oxidative detail adding complexity.  Medium in sweetness to taste and medium-bodied, the palate has rich and concentrated flavours of ripe yellow stonefruits with notes of apricots and yellow florals with honeysuckle, melded with a layer of nutty and creamy oak, unfolding a little smoke and oxidative nuances.  The palate has good weight and mouthfilling presence, with genuine richness, which is brightened by light acidity.  The wine flows with positive linearity, leading to en elegantly rich finish. This is a rich, rounded, concentrated and mouthfilling oak-influenced medium Pinot Gris with yellow stonefruit, apricot honied and floral flavours on a creamy, nutty palate with some complexing oxidative detail" Raymond Chan

This beautifully textured and rich Pinot Gris exhibits wonderfully complex aromas of rose petal and ripe pear juice. Toasty ginger and spice flavours integrate seamlessly with a rich mouthfeel which is supported by fine acidity. At its best now until 2025.

Individual rows are chosen by hand and each parcel of fruit is carefully selected and kept separate throughout the winemaking process to preserve the unique flavours. Indigenous fermentations and time on lees allow subtle earthy flavours and a lovely texture to develop. The wines are rich and complex with a perfect amount of oak used in every wine to compliment the style.
