Description

This small-batch Tasmanian Pinot Gris is a masterclass in texture and complexity, crafted with precision and flair.

Winemaker Jonny Hughes sources fruit from the Derwent Valley, Tamar, North West, and Coal River Valley, combining sub-regional components in a seamless blend. The wine is made in the Ramato style, with 12% of the fruit fermented on skins, 39% in seasoned barrels, and 39% in tank, before being aged on lees. The result is a textural, slightly blushed Pinot Gris that’s far from ordinary.

Lush and layered, it offers an enticing alternative to the overly simple Pinot Gris dominating chain bottle shops. This is vibrant, engaging, and exceptionally easy to drink, with enough complexity to keep every sip interesting.

Perfect for those looking to explore a more adventurous side of Pinot Gris, this wine delivers a unique and rewarding experience from one of Tasmania’s rising stars.

Mewstone

Mewstone Wines is a joint venture between Jonny and Matt Hughes, two Tasmanian born wine-heads, and their respective wives Margie and Cathie.

The two families have invested in a small plot of land on the banks of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel in the charmingly named locality of Flowerpot, on the south-eastern tip of Tasmania. Matt works the grapes, Jonny makes the wines, taking what he learnt from seven years as assistant winemaker at Moorilla and re-imagining it for his own label.

The Hughes & Hughes wines offer some of the best value to be found in Tasmania at the moment, and the Mewstone premium range focuses on exceptional single-vineyard wines made in a style that Jonny wants to drink. James Halliday called them, "an utterly exceptional wine producer". Keep an eye on this ambitious pair as their star continues to rise.
