2024 Project - Pinot Gris

VINTAGE 2024 – a warm & dry vintage highlighted by a very early start, excellent marri blossom, and some challenging heat spikes.  Whites and rosés were picked earlier than ever and showed excellent fruit vibrancy.

VARIETALS 100% Pinot Gris (sourced from Jindawarra Vineyard, Karridale)

APPEARANCE Brilliant, pale yellow straw with blush tints

AROMA Fresh fruit aromatics of lychee, guava and pear with lifted floral notes of honeysuckle and rosewater.

PALATE A textured and mouth-filling style showing aromatic lift of white flowers and honeydew, combined with body and mouthfeel garnered from partial barrel fermentation and maturation on lees.  Notes of dried herbs, talc, nougat and ginger spice add further texture and complexity, and ensure a dry, mineral finish.

OAK DETAIL A portion of the blend (40%) was fermented in seasoned French oak barriques to contribute texture and mouthfeel, whilst the balance was fermented cool in stainless steel to retain bright aromatics.
