2021 was a cooler vintage with lovely slow ripening, providing fantastic yields of fruit with almost double the crop of the previous two years. Pinot Gris thrives in cool to moderate conditions, so the cooler weather allowed the fruit to ripen gradually, resulting in intense aromas and flavours and notably quite a pink colour!
The fruit was picked using a selective process harvester and the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed to help create a more delicate wine. The juice was fermented in stainless steel to help maintain this varieties delicate flavours, then transferred to one year old white oak barrels to build depth and texture.
