Hero of Zero Pinot Grigio 2021 

Super fresh example of Pinot Grigio displaying varietal aromas of pear, citrus and a leesy, nutty complexity. The palate reflects the nose with a core of bright citrus fruit, a good mouthfeel and a refreshing line of acidity. Pair with pork wontons.

Summary

The Hero of Zero wines are hand-crafted from the best quality fruit sourced from premium vineyards across Australia. With meticulous handling in the vineyard and winery, the pristine fruit will have less exposure to anything harmful that may normally require the addition of preservatives. Our wines are crafted to be brightly coloured, exotically fragrant, full-flavoured and critically, they sing without the addition of preservatives. Perfectly suited to many cuisines, these wines are also crafted to ensure they are suitable for Vegans.

Winemaking

Healthy and problem free fruit is selected in the vineyard and then picked in the cool of the night and then rushed to the nearby winery for a fast and focused vinification. Fermentation is cool in a closed static fermenter before a short maturation on lees and bottling.

2021 Vintage

If 2020 was all about the heat, then 2021 will be remembered as the wet season. In many parts of Australia it was unseasonably wet but not at critcal times as to do damage to the growing season and the ripeness of the grapes. In fact, an even ripening was achieved between dry and rainy spells and the ensuing fruit quality was excellent. For once, yields were up making 2021 a bumper harvest.
