A rich, concentrated off-dry Pinot Gris with a fresh mouthfeel. Pale lemon with a pinkish hue. An harmonious nose showing delicate floral notes of orchid and frangipani over top of nashi pear and red apple. Dry in style with a distinctly floral and lifted palate, the integration of apple and pear fruit flavours with the textural elements is a highlight. A sophisticated and dry style of Pinot Gris, with each sip revealing further complexity. Perfect with Vietnamese or Thai cuisine, this will be at its best now and through 2027.

62% of the fruit from the Pencarrow Vineyard, 5% from our organic vineyard Om Santi and the balance from the Palliser Vineyard. The fruit is harvested and has 3 hours skin
contact to aid in extraction of aromas and flavour. The grapes are gently pressed, tank fermented to 7g/litre of residual sugar adding weight. A portion is fermented in old french oak barrels adding complexity. The two portions are thenblended and aged for a further 2 months on lees gaining texture before bottling.
