2018 Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Gris
Whole-bunch pressed, 50% barrel-fermented and aged in old French puncheons. Perfumed aromas of apple and pear with hint of grape skin. A beautifully textured palate (the oak playing a part), mouthfilling but not heavy, the flavours lingering and the acidity woven seamlessly into the fabric, then persisting in the aftertaste.

Critic Reviews
Whole-bunch pressed, 50% barrel-fermented and aged in old French puncheons. Perfumed aromas of apple and pear with hint of grape skin. A beautifully textured palate (the oak playing a part), mouthfilling but not heavy, the flavours lingering and the acidity woven seamlessly into the fabric, then persisting in the aftertaste.
Hand-picked solely from Block 2, whole-bunch pressed, part fermented in used French puncheons. The aromas of the bouquet are positively heady with floral cherry blossom, then a textured and intense palate with far more to say for itself than all but a few of its combatants.'

Tasting Notes
AROMA: Refined and fresh, bright fruit aromas and a lovely floral lift. PALATE: Beautifully textured palate, delicious depth of fruit – with nashi pear and subtle spice. Seamless and refreshing, the wine finishes long and fine.
Winemakers Note
The fruit was handpicked on 22 February and whole bunch pressed. The juice was then cold settled and wild fermented with 50% in stainless steel and 50% in old French puncheons (500L). The wine was bottled in October 2018.
