Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"This Pinot Blanc is grown at our Morrison vineyard. Hand harvested in April, the grapes were whole bunch pressed, fermented at cool temperatures using a mixture of wild and introduced yeasts, fined before filtration and bottling end sept 19.
Pear, spice and citrus aromas are followed by flavours of stonefruit with a crunchy refreshing texture, underpinned by mineral notes and bright acidity. This wine is dry, a light bright style of Pinot Blanc that is all about enjoyment, drinking now, at lunch, as an aperitif or whenever …. get some."

4 ½ Stars Michael Cooper (2019 Vintage)
"The attractive 2019 vintage was hand-picked in the Morrison Vineyard at Lowburn, and fermented and matured in stainless steel barrels. Light lemon/green, it is mouthfilling, with strong, peachy, moderately complex flavours, woven with fresh acidity, that build well across the palate to a slightly off-dry finish. Drink now or cellar."
93/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, September 2020 (2018 Vintage)
"Juicy, slippery, bright. Stone fruit, just ripe, some creamy-vanilla-nutty stuff happening, good intensity, good concentration, more than you expect. A lovely, flavoursome mouthful of white wine with refreshment factor up but so too fruit and general everything. You’d call it a medium bodied white. And done well."
Bargain Buy, Joelle Thompson, July 2019 (2018 Vintage)
"Pinot Blanc might be the lesser known cousin to the hugely popular Pinot Gris, but I prefer it by far, thanks to fresh dry whites like this one. This is nearly full bodied with zingy vibrant acidity adding a super long finish to a dry, classy white. It costs a little bit more than most bargain buys but once tasted, it’s easy to see why it cruises into my bargain buy – drink less, savour the moment, push the boat out. Try it."
