The 2021 growing season started with some late spring frosts and challenging weather over the flowering period, which resulted in moderate crops throughout the region. These moderate crops, coupled with a warm and stable end to the growing season, set us up for an early start with superb fruit.

Carefully selected Pinot Gris blocks were individually harvested, destemmed and gently pressed. After cold settling for 72 hours, the clear juice was racked into stainless steel tanks for long, cool fermentation. After spending three months on lees to build texture and weight, the wine was then blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
