Tasting Notes
This Pinot Gris is refined and fresh, with bright fruit aromas and a lovely floral lift. Beautifully textured palate and delicious depth of fruit – with nashi pear and subtle spice. Seamless and refreshing, the wine finishes long and fine. The 2025 season brought another cool and late vintage. Low yields produced intense wines with impeccable balance and persistence. The Pinot Gris is planted in Block 2, in a section of the vineyard on sandy clay loam soils, with iron shot stone and light medium clay. The fruit was hand picked on 19 February and whole bunch pressed. The juice was then cold settled and wild fermented with 80% in stainless steel and 20% in old French puncheons (500L). The wine was estate bottled in July 2025. It is complex and vibrant and best enjoyed in its youth.
