2024 Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Gris
Our philosophy is to craft single vineyard wines of great purity and character, reflective of our site and the season in which it was grown. It’s the attention and care in the vineyard that is most critical to allowing this expression.
The 2024 season brought another cool and late vintage. Low yields produced intense wines with impeccable balance and persistence. The wine is complex and vibrant with floral and citrus aromas, and flavours of nashi pear. Enjoy this wine in its youth.
Winemaker Notes
Our pinot gris is planted in Block 2, in a section of the vineyard on sandy clay loam soils, with iron shot stone and light medium clay. The fruit was hand picked on 19 February and whole bunch pressed. The juice was then cold settled and wild fermented with 80% in stainless steel and 20% in old French puncheons (500L). The wine was estate bottled in July 2024. Alc 13%.
Tasting Notes
This pinot gris is refined and fresh, with bright fruit aromas and a lovely floral lift. Beautifully textured palate and delicious depth of fruit – with nashi pear and subtle spice. Seamless and refreshing, the wine finishes long and fine.
