Winery & Vintage Info
42°S is the central latitude of Tasmania and reflects the cool climate position for which the grapes are grown.
Vintage conditions saw a lot of rain during winter (August to October), the soil was extremely wet and cold up to November. At flowering, the temperatures were in the mid-ten, not hot enough to warm up the soil and make the pollination happen. Flowering took 5 weeks and resulted in 40-50% hen and chicken berries (small berries, non-pollinated).
From mid-December to mid-February, the summer temperatures went from 15°C to 25°C.
Vintage started end of March for sparkling, then the maturation of the grapes was very slow with high acidity. The winery finished picking the late grapes second week of May. It was the latest vintage for the last 20 years.
The finished wine is driven by the quality of the fruit with minimal intervention from the winemaking team who choose to let the fruit do the work.
The end result is fresh vibrant wines that showcase the very best of the Tasmanian Cool climate.
The fruit for the 2022 vintage Pinot Grigio is 100% handpicked, and sustainably grown from the vineyards in Campania, Coal River Valley, Southern Tasmania.
De-stemmed and crushed into press. De-juiced with only slight pressure prior to cold-settling overnight. Racked into a stainless steel tank for inoculated ferment, controlled at 18-20˚C. Kept on ferment lees for eight weeks to fill palate structure, then cold stabilised before filtration. Bottled July 2022. Winery Notes
