2023 Eddystone Point Pinot Gris

Colour: Pale straw with a green hue Bouquet: Lifted spiced nashi pear and the slightest hint of rosewater Palate: A lively palate of melon and sweet Bosc pear. Sweet fruit up front but finishes with a juicy mid palate and fresh crunch of pear.

2023 was again quite a challenging season. Poor flowering conditions resulted in reduced crop levels across the state due to poor fruit set with plenty of hen and chicken. Waterlogged winter soils took time to warm up and vines were slow to grow, leading to a late harvest season. Plenty of disease pressure provided some challenges, however the fruit we did receive has provided us with some great quality wines. The fruit for this Pinot Gris was harvested from the East Coast and Derwent Valley regions of Tasmania. The fruit was whole bunch pressed and fermented in a combination of stainless steel and French oak puncheons. The lively palate of melon and sweet Bosc pear pairs perfectly with a local Tasmanian cheese platter, quince paste and caramelised walnuts.
