Sticks stands amongst the Yarra Valley’s largest and most innovative winemakers, operating out of a single site located in the heart of the picturesque Yarra Valley. This wine has a smorgasbord of inviting attributes. White florals, lime, poaching pear and nougat aromas flow from the attractive nose, with flavours of preserved lemon, nashi pear and spice floating around on the palate. This dry Pinot Grigio wine matches wonderfully with crispy silk salmon and baby pea.

Tasting Note
Aroma

Attractive white florals, nashi pear, apple and a hint of beeswax.

Crisp yet generously textured with crunchy nashi pear, white stonefruits, spice and a cleansing long finish.

Vinification

Hand harvested fruit from Coldstream, and machine harvested fruit from Seville went into this wine. The fruit was loaded directly into the press with no additions for overnight settling, before ‘hard’ racking the cloudy juice off to tank for wild ferment.

Has more texture than Redbank Pinot Gris (tasted on the same day), with more length and flavour. The AWRI chart on the Redbank wines once again proves useless.
