I’m not a Pinot Gris fan but when something special is done to Gris it can be a deliciously decent wine – here they even named it right “Gris” (it is not Grigio). Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, giving it a little colour in the process (orangey-pink) – then 60% of want into neutral oak (1000L barrels) for a little complexity … yet still keeping its naturally fruity nature: peachy, lemony and apple-y with good weight on the palate and zingy acidity – fresh, lively and colourful. It’s a beauty of a Pinot Gris – and it’s not often you get to say that.
