GOLD MEDAL: ROYAL EASTER SHOW.
TROPHY FOR BEST NEW WORLD WHITE WINE JAPAN INTERNATIONAL WINE CHALLENGE
Our aim for the Pinot Gris is to produce a wine with a real textural presence, and strong varietal characteristics. In the vineyard yields are kept low so that the fruit reaches full physiological ripeness. Most of the fruit in 2009 came from the School House Vineyard in Bendigo, some 350 metres above sea level. Here the combination of warm days, cool nights and excellent exposure give the fruit a refreshingly intense, clean ripeness. Other sites provide unique flavours and make for a more interesting complex blend. All the fruit is hand harvested and whole bunch pressed, which is crucial in providing pure fruit free from coarseness. 15% of the fruit was fermented in barrel to add intrigue to the wine; whilst the stainless portion was blended post ferment and given 3 months of lees contact with regular stirring.
14% Alc/Vol.
