Description
"Hand-picked, 100% whole bunch pressed, wild yeast, barrel fermented, unfined and unfiltered. Small crops of intensely flavoured fruit, indigenous yeast and barrel fermentation impart genuine richness and texture to this multifaceted and textural Pinot Gris. Aromas of ripe peach, subtle nuts and wild honey give hints of the lusciousness and complexity of the palate. Powerful and balanced with lingering flavours." - Winemaker Notes
"It’s not often that I take a pinot gris home from the office but this wine defied the odds. This wine is a journey and a destination. It’s luscious, it’s wild, it has gravitas and it has length. It’s every most pinot gris is not, and by that I mean that it’s a pinot gris that demands attention. It tastes of hay, apples, pears, florals, toast and tonic, and on the scores of mouthfeel, intensity and finish it excels." - 94 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
"Medium yellow with a tinge of gold, the bouquet a mix of creamy lees, spiced honey and pot-pourri, unmistakeably gris but with an overtone of nutty barrel oak which adds an extra layer of character. Rich and ample with a long-lasting finish and a refreshing dryness. A tickle of sweetness at the core dries off by the finish. Some alcohol warmth and resonance lingers. A very smart gris that would reward a little cellaring." - 94 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
