Winery & Vintage Info
Like the tale of Rosetta Pizzini smuggling her beloved’s gift across the sea, the best stories are filled with great characters and complexity. The same can be said of our Pinot Grigio. Carefully selected from a multitude of vineyards, it spans the spectrum from crisp green apple to ripe yellow pear. Savour today with crusted scallops, lemon rind, capers and a compelling story.
The season commenced much like the last three years; it was quite wet and cold so we were bracing ourselves for quite a challenging year. However, conditions changed, the consistent rain stopped, and we began to experience some warm, dry weather. The summer was perfect with beautiful grape growing conditions. Morning temperatures were around 15 degrees by 9am and daily temperatures peaked at 30 degrees by 3pm which are perfect vintage conditions for producing great whites and reds. There will be some amazing wines from this vintage, both to drink now and for long term ageing.
The Pinot Grigio was harvested at four different stages and levels of ripeness to help build complexity of flavour in the finished wine. The fruit picked earlier at a potential alcohol of around 10% gives rise to crisp green apple notes, while fruit picked later displays rich, ripe pear flavour and texture. Each parcel is fermented in a similar way but kept separate to allow for greater blending options. The juice is drained off the skins right away so as not to pick up any colour from the pink/bronze coloured berries and then left to settle for 24 hours before racking and beginning fermentation. A yeast strain was used to ensure maximum extraction of varietal characters, while fermentation temperatures were kept low to capture freshness and aromatics. The finished wines are tasted and blended prior to bottling.
