Winemaker's Notes:

COLOR:
Fresh pale straw with fine golden hints.

NOSE:
Attractive, fresh varietal aromatics of white pear, apple, and an exotic background of wildhoney and honeysuckle.

PALATE:
Distinct Pinot Gris aromatics of ripe pear and honey-dew melon follow onto the palate, along with granny-smith apple and floral honey flavors; mineral notes add complexity to the elegant flavors. This zippy, vibrant style has well-balanced lemony freshness through to the finish, with a refined and crisp acid backbone giving length and structure.

SOURCE AREA:
A South Eastern Australian blend incorporating premium quality fruit from the Murray Darling (NSW), Riverland (SA) and Riverina (NSW). Pinot Gris is now planted in most Australian wine regions, producing a wide range of bright fruit signatures.

Reviews:

“ 88 Points.
Pale gold. Floral citrus and pear flavors are complemented by wet stones and white pepper. Light, racy lemon and lime flavors offer good mineral cut and back-end bite. Fleshier on the finish, which ends with a hint of bitter citrus pith. ” — Stephen Tanzer

“ 91 Points. ” — Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate Feb 2009
