Description

Tim Adams was ahead of the curve when he planted Pinot Gris in Clare Valley back in the ‘90s, believing the region’s cool nights and long ripening season could do just as well for Gris as it does for Riesling. Safe to say, he was right - this has become one of Australia’s go-to Pinot Gris, offering serious quality without the price tag to match.

The 2024 vintage had a cooler ripening season, which meant great flavour development while keeping that crisp, refreshing acidity. True to Tim Adams’ style, the wine keeps its natural rose-gold hue - no stripping away the colour here - letting the variety shine in its purest form.

Bright, easy to drink, and made for food, it’s the kind of wine that works just as well at a backyard lunch as it does with midweek takeout. Best enjoyed young and fresh.

Description

Rather than removing the naturally occurring colour from our Pinot Gris, as a true expression of varietal character we choose to retain it in this wine. The resultant rose-gold hue complements the well lifted opulent pear, lychee and white peach aromas and flavours.

There certainly is no mistaking the variety in the bottle; this vintage is yet another classic example of our very popular style!

Winemaking Notes

Harvested in the cool of the early morning, Pinot Gris from optimum vineyard sites throughout the Clare Valley was crushed, chilled to 5 degrees and pressed, the pressings separated. A cool fermentation for two weeks has produced maximum lifted varietal fruit expression. Individual vineyard parcels were filtered before carefully blending together. The wine has been cold and protein stabilised to industry standards, fined, filtered and immediately bottled under screw cap to encapsulate the flavours and ensure freshness.

Growing Conditions

The 2024 vintage is a result of a challenging but rewarding growing season for Pinot Gris. with the cooler than average temperatures resulting in a longer ripening period and higher flavours intensity and concentration in the fruit. The mild summer has retained good natural acidity, providing a refreshing subtle citrus zest, crisp crunchy fruit character with balanced residual sweetness in the middle palate.

Food Pairing

A great food-wine; enjoy while it is young and vibrant, with Asian cuisine, seafood and salads.
