Tim Adams Pinot Gris 2024 (Clare Valley)

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

The growing season started with a relatively dry winter and bud-burst happening earlier than normal, with some of our warmer sites waking up from winter dormancy in late August. The atypical period leading to Christmas brought cooler and wetter conditions to the Valley, but was followed by a great ripening season with the vines showing healthy canopies and overall good crops.
