Situated at the heart of Mount Benson, the Norfolk Rise Vineyard is planted on 180 hectares of undulating coastal hills. Parcels of Pinot Grigio are selectively harvested to a timetable determined by physiological ripeness, allowing full expression of varietal fruit character. Grapes are handled in a manner to preserve integrity and avoid any juice oxidation or browning. Small portions of chilled grapes are held on skins for optimal extractions of flavour. Juices are clarified and a long, cool fermentation is initiated by aromatic yeast strains. To maximise the retention of fresh fruit flavours and aromas, Norfolk Rise is bottled immediately after vinification and assemblage.
