Pinot Grigio from the Adelaide Hills sub region of Mt Torrens, vines are planted to sandy loam soils scattered with ironstone gravel and quartzite. The underlying principle is to achieve a healthy balanced vineyard, neither vigorous nor stressed. Grapes are hand harvested and promptly delivered to the winery. Skin contact and maceration is kept to a minimum, avoiding any undesirable colour and phenolics. Whole berries are loaded into the membrane press on a delicate cycle, free run juices are isolated at 558 litres per tonne. A slow gradual cool ferment is then followed by eight months on yeast lees to encourage the integration of fruit flavours and a fine, textured palate. Alcohol 13.0%
