Trentham Estate The Family Pinot Grigio 2024 (Murray Darling)

The grape variety is closely related to Pinot Noir and is known as Pinot Grigio in Italy and Pinot Gris in France. The grapes are pink to light purple in colour and are harvested at different ripeness levels depending on the wine style being made. Grapes are normally picked earlier for the Grigio style.

The grapes were harvested from our own vineyards, during the coolest part of the day to protect the freshly picked fruit, and swiftly transported to the winery where crushing, pressing and clarification took place. A long, cool fermentation then occurred over a ten-day period with a specially selected yeast strain. Post fermentation, the wine was stabilised and clarified prior to bottling.
