Lifted aromatic nose with floral notes. A pleasing palate of crisp green apples, mineral accents with a touch of honey comb and tight refreshing acidity to offer balance and texture to the wine.
Technical Information
WINEMAKING NOTES Hand harvested grapes were whole bunch pressed. A gentle slow pressing program was used to extract juice whilst minimising astringent harshness. The juice was inoculated and fermented at cool temperatures to conserve the fruit aromas in the wine. The wine was bottled using gravity.

Awards & Reviews
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, April 2011 This is a very friendly wine showing lifted aromas of pineapple, pear and citrus. It's juicy and lively on the palate with a smooth texture and a refreshing finish. An uncomplicated Pinot Gris and so easy on the palate. At its best: now to 2012. 4 stars.
Food & Wine
A perfect match with hard cheeses, antipasto, figs and cured meats.
