The Pinot Gris grapes that created this beautiful wine came from established vineyards in the Gibbston Valley (16-year-old vines), with 15% sourced from Bannockburn. Each block was harvested at optimal ripeness in order to achieve a wine with aromatic freshness, rich texture and restrained alcohol.
Tasting Notes

Ageing: A combination of stainless steel tanks and old French oak barrels were used for fermentation.
