Trentham Estate Pinot Gris 2019 (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 2019 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!

The making of the 2019 Trentham Estate Pinot Gris saw the fruit once harvested, 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
