- Description
Aroma // Sweet honeysuckle, quince, and almond pastry.
Palate // Creamy and full bodied with flavours of peach, nutmeg and pear tart. Concentration of fruit shows through with a supple underlying structure that leaves the wine fresh and vibrant on the finish. Medium/Dry style.
Cellaring // Pinot Gris from our vineyards responds well to warmer seasons, and this wine is likely to age gracefully past 2023.
- Winemaking
Hand harvested over 5 separate picks, the juice was gently whole bunch pressed and fermented in a mix of old oak vessels and stainless-steel tanks. Blending took place in October once fermentation was complete.
- Vineyard
The 2018 growing season was one out of the box, and recorded as the warmest growing season Spy Valley has yet experienced. A very dry Spring and Summer led through to an Autumn with frequent rainfall and warm conditions. Our Pinot Gris showed its mettle with lush flavours and clean ripe fruit.
