Description

There are only a few vineyards in the Clare Valley cool enough to grow this style of Pinot Gris. Utilising high altitude sites in the sub appellation of Penwortham, the wine is crafted as a bright wine with varietal flavours and soft yet full texture making it perfectly adaptable to many cuisines or highly refreshing by itself.

Sourced from a single vineyard in Penwortham, Clare Valley, this vineyard sits atop the eastern range of the central valley of Clare. The westerly aspect of the block allows the Pinot Gris the late afternoon’s soft light but is shielded from the heat of the morning and midday sun.

Review
Lifts the Gris game with a beautifully understated style. A barely-there colour mixes with Asian pear, acacia, lime cordial scents. Could be argued that it straddles the Grigio-Gris border with its 11.5% alc., but frankly, it doesn’t matter because either way this brings real class to the glass. Light in texture, citrussy bright in acidity, the palate opens fine and tightly controlled, running pure and clean in lime, apple, gentle herbals and a lovely, persistent thread of spiciness. A delicacy of touch throughout stamps this as a must try and, at that price, a must buy.
