The Woodstock Vineyard is a cooler, later-ripening site that allows grapes to develop maximum aroma and flavour while preserving natural acidity. The fruit was harvested when the balance between ripeness and freshness was deemed optimal.

Winemaking was strongly focused on enhancing the perfumed/spicy aromatics and delivering the balance and texture so crucial to good quality Pinot Gris. The fruit was given some skin contact before being gently pressed and the juice barrel fermented in old 500-litre French oak puncheons. A small amount of residual sugar was retained to balance the acidity and the wine bottled early to capture its youthfulness and vitality.

The Wine Aromas of ripe pears, stone fruit and sweet, exotic spices are evident on the nose. The wine is rich and round in the mouth with an excellent concentration of flavour balanced by refreshing acidity and a gently drying texture. Its opulent mouthfeel and richness make it a great drink to share with friends or enjoy with Asian-inspired dishes or seafood.

Alc: 13%
