Vinification

The grapes were selectively harvested at our Estate Vineyards from mid-February to mid-March to achieve optimum ripeness for the "Grigio" style. Processing was by full protective handling to avoid any juice oxidation or browning. Small portions of chilled grapes were held on skins in order to maximise the flavours in the resulting juice. The juice was clarified and a long, cool fermentation followed in tank using a selection of aromatic yeast strains. To maximise the retention of fresh fruit flavours and aromas, the resultant wine has been bottled under screw cap.

Given the price tag, this pinot grigio punches above its weight. It is punchy, too, with tangy acidity wrapped around some unripe Packham pear and white peach notes. Lightly aromatic with a hint of florals, crushed coriander seeds and more pears. (Jane Faulkner)
