Trentham Estate Pinot Gris 2018 (Murray Darling)

Inspired by our surroundings we reflect on the essential nature of the Murray Darling to create wines of distinction and sustainability.

The grape variety is a relative of Pinot Noir and known as Pinot Grigio in Italy and Pinot Gris in France. It can be made into wines of varied styles. The Gris style is softer and more generous in flavour than the Grigio style of Italy.

These grapes were picked at full ripeness, yielding good flavour and texture.

Warm, dry weather during the 2018 harvest restricted our crop levels and helped to produce exceptional fruit quality with plenty of aromatics and flavour. Lower rain levels during the growing season translated into smaller berries packing their punch, making our winemakers very happy!

Once harvested, the fruit was crushed and pressed; the juice was cold settled and racked to ferment. The ferment was carried out with a selected yeast. Post fermentation the wine was stabilised, clarified and bottled. Winery Notes

2017 Vintage Reviews
"The nose is a fresh intense vibrancy of pears and apples with a lovely weighted palate loaded with zesty pear and lychee flavours. A great little quaffer. Good drinking now"’
