Description

Not all vineyard sites are equal, usually due to soil. However, there are ways to extract and create magic when one is prepared to take risk and step outside their comfort zone. We are lucky enough to have risked with experiment and achieved. From a very small 400 vine block of 30-year-old pinot gris on pure clay soils, we hang our fruit to the brink of collapse, not from botrytis but simple hang time to create a sweeter style of pinot gris.

Review
Seductively fragrant with elegance and complexity, the bouquet shows ripe apricot, orange peel, poached pear, and warm spice aromas, leading to a delectably expressed palate offering fleshy texture and joyful sweetness. Wonderfully balanced by finely infused acidity, it’s irresistibly tasty and flatteringly classy. Undeniably well-crafted with generosity and finesse in one. At its best: 2026 to 2036. 5 Stars.

Tasting Profile
palate

With more sweetness comes a substantial amount of spiciness and a more intense minerality is also achieved.... A wine of curvaceous structure
