2016 Reserve Pinot Gris
In Stock
Our 2016 Reserve Pinot Gris was made from fruit grown at both Rowlee Vineyard in Orange, NSW, and Bowral in the Southern Highlands.
We make 2 different wines from Pinot Gris – the lighter-styled Grigio which is picked earlier, and the richer-styled Gris which is picked later.
The juice was entirely fermented in 7-10 year old French oak barrels with a portion left to ferment using wild yeast (25%).
The complex nose shows spicy pear and yellow apple, together with subtle old-barrel/leesy influence.
There are beautiful palate flavours of ripe golden delicious apple, juicy pear, and texture gained from maturation on lees in old barrels.
A very easy wine to drink, pairing well with pork, chicken and richer seafood.
Drink now to 2021.
