Tread Softly South Australia Pinot Grigio 2023 (Australia)

Description

Apple, Lemon, Off-dry

Delicate yet aromatic notes of lemon, apple, and pear greet the senses. This wine is fresh and vibrant, with flavours that seamlessly fill the palate and leave a long, pure, and refreshing finish, highlighted by a crisp acidity.

Tread Softly is a contemporary range of wines seeking to deliver delicious, intensely flavoured wines that are naturally medium weighted and moderate in alcohol. By using more sustainable vineyard management and wine-making techniques to ensure their production has had a minimal impact to the environment. Tread Softly is committed to reducing their carbon footprint and so commits to planting an Australian Native Tree for 6 bottles sold.

Sourced from established vineyards of the rich soils of the border of Victoria and South Australia. The vines are mostly dry-grown and utilise expert canopy management to help to control ripening and vigour.

A cooler than average growing season, frost, the lack of rain and poor weather during flowering, including strong winds throughout November and December resulted in lower yields however, the dry and consistent weather during picking resulted in a vintage of high-quality fruit.

Harvested in the cool of the morning to avoid the warmer temperatures of the day. The fruit is quickly delivered to the winery for destemming and crushing prior to a regular fermentation in stainless steel tank. The wine is aerated and temp controlled for an even ferment and then spends 3 months settling in tank prior to bottling and an early release.

Food Pairing: Ideal for pairing with pork ramen noodles.
