About The Wine
The Pinot Gris on Skins project is Kate McIntyre MW's pet project at family winery, Moorooduc in Mornington Peninsula.
The region as a whole has championed the Pinot Gris variety as something more than just a simple, easy drinking white. The McIntyre's are the latest to get behind this regional hero.
This spent two weeks on skins before being pressed to barrel where it underwent MLF and hung out for 10 weeks on lees. It's made like Pinot Noir as opposed to traditional Gris/Grigio.
The result is a wine more red than white. It's fuller bodied than most Rosé wine, with serious tannin and weight.
If you want to see the more interesting side of Pinot Gris, this is it.

Critic Reviews
"It looks like a deeply coloured rose, but in truth it's a wine difficult to pigeonhole. Pinot gris made more like pinot noir, with two weeks on skins, pressed to barrel with mlf and time on lees part of the process. Lifted aromas have musky and watermelon qualities with a savoury sort of character almost reminiscent of Chinato. There's a silky, glycerous feel on the palate with a lightly tannic astringency which is quite red-wine-like. An interesting diversion." - Steven Creber (Halliday Wine Companion)
