Pinot Gris

The 2003/2004 vintage blessed Eden Valley with good rains in spring, followed by a dry summer with an unexpectedly cool January, offering perfect conditions for vines to ripen and maintain good canopies. February brought normal summer conditions with plenty of warmth to initiate the flavour ripening phase in Eden Valley grapes. Long cool autumn conditions meant the harvest time for each parcel of fruit was optimal. As a result, the grapes were picked over a period of three weeks, with each bundle exhibiting the classic ripe flavours of Pewsey Vale and Eden Valley with gorgeous natural acid freshness. This is the first vintage release of Pewsey Vale Pinot Gris and one we're particularly excited about. Lively green hues highlight the pale straw colour. Aromas of spicy cinnamon and apple blossom are enhanced by hints of apricot kernel leading into flavours reminiscent of crunchy apple and pear. The creamy rich textures of this wine lead beautifully into a long and fresh finish. A wonderful accompaniment to a wide range of foods.
