Pinot Grigio

Our Pinot Grigio is a true WA blend with two thirds from our Mt Barker vineyards and one third coming from Margaret River. The season was the earliest on record and we harvested approximately 3 weeks earlier than average, with the fruit still coming in at optimal ripeness and flavour. We always schedule the harvesting at night to capitalise on the cooler overnight temperatures, thus preserving the Pinot Grigio’s delicate fruit characters.

COLOUR

Very bright and clear with next to no colour, just a touch of white gold.

AROMA

Has an aromatic nose of fresh ripe pears with a hint of lychees adding an exotic, fragrant character.

PALATE

This is a well weighted, very approachable, fresh dry white. It has those very delicate and delicious ripe pear fruit flavours along with a hint just of spiciness adding complexity. It has a good textural quality with its summer fruit flavours complemented by the lightly drying, ‘pithy’ characters which add a pleasing, light astringency and contribute to its nice dry finish.
With its delicate textural qualities and gentle acidity our Pinot Grigio has the palate weight to be enjoyed with or without food. Best enjoyed as a young wine, serve lightly chilled.
