Description

Xavier Goodridge is running a very impressive operation with his namesake wine brand, and this Pinot Gris is another winner.

Sourced from the cool, limestone-rich soils of Mount Gambier, Xavier makes this simply but consideredly. The fruit is direct-pressed and fermented in stainless steel, with 5 months on lees and stirred often for added complexity.

Whether it’s on a picnic rug or on your back deck, this Pinot Gris is a light, refreshing wine for any time, any where that’s effortlessly enjoyable.

90 points - "The fruit for this Pinot Gris hails from Mt Gambier, which continues to emerge as an excellent source for a variety of grapes (a variety of varieties?). Fermentation was in stainless steel with the wine then left on lees for five months. Deep gold straw in colour, there are hints of stewed pears, stone fruit, florals, mandarins and ginger. No lack of flavour here in a style which is a little broader than some, though it remains a refreshing drink. Medium length, with a flick of acidity running the length, this falls very much at the drink now end of the spectrum." - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)

Pinot Gris from Mount Gambier direct pressed for soft extraction of colour and phenolics. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to showcase the purity of fruit and left on lees for 5 months for a gentle yeasty complexity and texture. Made with varietal perfume and crisp texture in mind.

The colour has a golden hue with ever so light pink reflections. Beautifully expressive, full of orchard fruits, yellow pears and red apples, tangerine peel, honeyed blossoms and a hint of tropical fruits like pineapple skin. Then comes freshly baked brioche, that tasty leesy complexity. Flavours have a lovely ginger spice, a crunchy bite that makes your mouth water and a dust of cinnamon to top things off. A true, expressive and textural Gris with a great refreshment factor.
