Tasting Notes for Angove Organic Pinot Grigio from the Winery

Crystal clear with olive green hues and aroma of soft floral notes with nashi pear, citrus rind and grapefruit.

Vineyard

Angove Organic Pinot Grigio is a single vineyard wine made from grapes grown in our organically certified Nanya Vineyard, near Paringa South Australia.

The 2023 Australian vintage is estimated to be 1.32 million tonnes – 26 percent below the 10-year average and the lowest recorded since 2000. The growing  conditions were the most difficult in at least 20 years. A third consecutive La Niña event produced the wettest year since 2011 and it was also Australia’s coolest year since 2012. With extensive rain and the flooding of the lifeblood of our region the mighty River Murray just accessing vineyards was a challenge.

The cool, wet conditions through spring and summer led to lower yields, delayed ripening and challenges managing disease. The skill and dedication of our viticulturists and winemakers led to a small but quality crop being harvested from early February through to the end of March.

Winemaking

Harvested late at night to ensure they are as cool as possible to minimise oxidation, the grapes were then transported to the winery and pressed immediatley using  modern tank presses. After cold setting the clear juice was carefully transferred to cooled fermentation tanks and inoculated with selected yeasts. Cool fermentation was followed by minimal handling, a light filtration and bottling at the Angove  organically certified winery.
