2023 Franklinford Vineyard Pinot Gris
A$40.00
Hand-picked on March 18th and transported back to the winery where the fruit was destemmed and soaked on skins for 12 hours. Pressed to tank the following day. 80% of the juice was fermented and aged in seasoned French Barriques and the other 20% was fermented and aged in tank. Remaining in these vessels, maturing ‘on lees’ for 9 months. Following this it was racked to tank with a sulphur dioxide addition for 4 months to settle and clarify in the cold winter months. Prior to bottling there is another sulphur dioxide addition. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
The Pinot Gris gives aromas of stone fruits, wet rock and lifted floral notes. It is a powerful rendition of this variety which is still refreshing but has a textural phenolic element that comes from the grape skin maceration. It is dry and acid driven with a fruit core of nectarines, apples and freshly baked pastries.
