Notes from Producer

Fruit for the Bird in Hand Pinot Gris was sourced from premium cool climate sites at Macclesfield and Cudlee Creek.  After being gently pressed the free run juice was sent to stainless steel tank for inoculated fermentation and seasoned French oak barriques where it underwent wild fermentation.  The use of a combination of fermentation vessels, percentage of solids and differing yeast strains gave the winemakers several blending components to create a delicately textured, complex wine.

Appearance: Pale in colour with a faint green hue.

Nose: Aromas of pear, white nectarine and lychee, with a delicate floral, musky lift.

Palate: Flavours express themselves with generous fruit weight and textural, creamy mouthfeel balanced with a crisp, acid finish.

Our Pinot Gris is a superb partner to seafood dishes or those with light spice, such as aromatic Thai food.
