Mount Crawford was specially selected as an acquisition by Thorn-Clark for it's idyllic growing conditions. The north facing aspect provides much needed warmth in spring through to autumn. Tough mountain soils make the vines work hard to achieve excellent flavour and acid levels. Fruit is crushed, destemmed and treated to the actions of a membrane press. Pressings are discarded and the pure free run juices are inoculated. Ferments are kept slow and cool at 12C to 15C, retaining all the complex varietal characters. Following vinification, the wine is racked and filtered before an early bottling to capture and retain the true expression of Pinot Grigio and the terroir whence it comes. Alcohol 12.5%
