Fresh, lively and crisp on the palate, the mild conditions of the 2008 season have produced a Pinot Gris with delicacy as well as rich flavours of pear, peach and almond.
When we planted a hectare of pinot gris in 2000, we felt a little adventurous. It has certainly shot to popularity since then, and we think deservedly so. It is a variety that can be subtle as well as interesting and exciting. It goes well with food, and is a pleasure to drink rather than just taste. It is being made in a rather bewildering range of styles, and we prefer to stay with a clean fruit-driven approach. Our wine sees no oak and is bottled early.
A more fragrant and lighter wine than previous vintages with lovely floral and pear aromas, even with a hint of grapefruit, and pure clean pear-juice aromatics on the palate. Lower in alcohol (12.3%) and showing a lovely softness and lightness of touch.
