About The Wine
The Small Island Pinot Gris comes from the Glengarry vineyard in the Tamar Valley.
James Broinowski finds a great balance between freshness and texture with this release, it's Pinot Gris delivered in a contemporary style.
It's flush with plenty of succulent pears and green apple character, the fresh, crunchy acidity lending some drive.
Good Gris. Real good. As always with James' wines, a tiny production quantity too.
About Small Island Wines
Small Island Wines is a mirco-batch Tasmanian wine company founded by James Broinowski in 2015 after raising the money to launch his brand via a successful crowd-funding campaign through Kickstarter.
James focuses his time on producing Pinot Noir with regional accents from around Tasmania, with a little Rosé and Riesling being made as well.
The wines have received quite a lot of press in only a short amount of time. James Halliday wrote, "It looks very much like a potential acorn to oak story, for the quality of the wines is seriously good." after trying only the first release from 2015.
Since then, James hasn't looked back.
