Description

"From the Grovetown district, this delectable pinot gris offers lifted aromas of yellow stone fruit, poached pear, mandarin and floral on the nose, followed by a succulent palate that is generously expressed and richly fruited, while remaining elegant and poised. The wine is immediately appealing with plenty of tasty fruit flavours. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim Wine Orbit

Pale yellow straw. Red apple, quince and rich floral spice. Refreshingly fruit driven with a long spicy finish.

The fertile and finer soils of Grovetown are complemented with slightly warmer temperatures over harvest. This combination helps to produce Pinot Gris with lovely depth and texture whilst retaining bright fruit aromatics.

Once harvested, the grapes were gently pressed and settled in tank. The warm fermentation started with a handful of selected yeast strains. To add complexity
and texture, a portion of the wine was fermented in old French Oak. After fermentation the wine was left on yeast lees, then finley blended.
