Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"We aim to produce a rich aromatic wine with outstanding complexity. Cropping levels are kept low to ensure the fruit is concentrated. Varietal flavours are accumulated through hang time on the vines well into Autumn. 60% is fermented in aged oak barriques to add complexity and texture. The remaining 40% is fermented in stainless steel to maintain fresh fruit characters."
5 Stars & 19/20 (95) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, December 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is intense and focused, with aromas of pear, pear blossom, talcum, peach and spice. Full-bodied, off-dry to taste, aromas of pear and pear blossom intertwined with peach puree and five-spice. The creamy, oily mouthfeel is packed with pure fruit, lively acidity carries spice along an expressive, long finish. This Pinot Gris is complex and rich with deep layers and texture. Match with pork roast and Asian fare over the next 3-5 years. 15% fermented in seasoned oak barrels. BioGro organic certified."
5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Gorgeously fruited and elegantly fragrant, the wine shows rockmelon, Nashi pear, apricot and rich floral aromas on the nose. The palate delivers excellent weight and richness, splendidly framed by fleshy texture and beautifully infused acidity, finishing persistent and delectable. Certified organic. At its best: now to 2030."
93/100 JamesSuckling.com (2023 Vintage)
"Bright and characterful, with aromas of waxy lemons, crushed apples, dried orange peel and herbs. The palate is compact and long, just slightly off-dry,
with a medium to full body and a juicy core of fruit. Delicious and seductive. Made from organically grown grapes. Sustainable."
