All round a great growing season, with warm conditions perfect for flowering and fruit set,. The settled weather continued, with above average temperatures ensuring the development of juicy acidity and concentrated fruit flavours. At the time of picking, the fruit was in optimal condition - healthy, with great flavour and intensity. 

Once harvested the grapes were gently pressed and settled in tank. The warm fermentation started with a handful of selected yeast strains. After the completion of fermentation, the wine was left to relax on light yeast lees to enhance structure and mouthfeel. The wine was lightly fined in June, then bottled in July. 

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.

Food Pairing: Sweet and spicy firecracker chicken.
