Tasting Notes

Ripe pear and crunchy green apple lead, with lemon-lime and citrus zest. The palate is dry and bright with a lightly textural mid-palate, finishing crisp, clean and mouth-watering.

Winemaking

Made without added sulphur dioxide, with careful handling to keep aromatics bright and the palate clean. The style is fresh and fruit-driven, with gentle lees work adding a touch of texture rather than weight.

Vineyard & Vintage

From certified organic fruit selected for freshness and flavour. The aim is pure, easy-drinking Pinot Gris with a crisp finish and enough texture to pair beautifully with food.

Why We Love It

Because it’s a crisp, clean Pinot Gris that fits into real life: seafood nights, salad nights, cheese-and-crackers nights. The preservative free style also keeps it feeling extra fresh and bright.

Food Pairing

Seafood, sushi, salads, roast chicken and creamy cheeses are all gorgeous. Pinot Gris also loves dishes with lemon, herbs and a little richness.
