Here's a real delight. On cooler evenings you can still drink a lovely white wine. Pinot Grigio for me is the perfect white for the cooler months, but also a winner during the warmer months too.
Immediately it is an attractive pale straw colour with copper edges. The aromas leap from the glass, showing bright, crisp fruit characters of green apple and ripe pear. There's good weight of fruit on the palate with the natural acidity keeping the wine tight and good palate length.
Serve as an accompaniment to seafood, salads or vegetarian dishes. You'll reach for this time and time again so make sure you order enough to last!
The vines on Block 50n are some of the oldest on the estate, these mature plantings helping to establish Orange’s reputation as a world class wine producing region. Using sustainable viticulture practices in the vineyard have allowed these vines to thrive naturally producing incredible fruit with excellent depth and character, the hallmark of wines from this area.
FROM THE WINERY: What a great season to be a grape grower! Only a few little curve balls to worry about rather than the bouncers we’ve had to face over the last few seasons, such as a deluge of rain during harvest, heat waves during flowering or non stop rain and wind that we had to deal with in 2011. This season has been a cracker and we reckon we have grown some our best fruit in in the last five years. The 2012/13 growing season started quite off quite cool and dry, with vine growth steady early on. We had a mild frost in early October that touched up some Cabernet and Merlot vines at the bottom of a few gullies but these vines soon caught up.
