Description

Ocean Eight's Mike Aylward was one of the pioneers of a more 'serious' style of Pinot Gris in Australia.

This wine is picked first and foremost with acidity in mind. With acid providing a scaffolding to the wine, Mike is able to build texture through time on lees and time in barrel to create a fuller-bodied, more complex style of Gris.

It's not an overly unctuous style, but there's plenty of flavour that takes a hold of you.

This is a class act and one of the many reasons that most consider Mornington Peninsula the epicentre of great Pinot Gris in Australia.

    Great wine & great value

    We have been purchasing wine from Different Drop for a few years and always found that the selection of wines we enjoy are generally available at very competitive prices. The last purchase was 2 thirds of the price of the cellar door and still cheaper that buying through the vineyard wine club. Will always compare prices with Different Drop for the best value.

    Nice Drop

    Always a nice drop

Lean, bright & tight, the palate shows balance between fresh citrus intensity with a touch of melon and hint of ginger complimenting the fruit.

A clean and crisp acid finish, the wine will develop a nice oily mouthfeel with longer time in bottle. This wine is ageing very nicely and will keep for 4-7 years for optimal drinking potential.
