Pinot Gris is a mutation of Pinot Noir, the grapes ripen mid season with pink to light purple coloured berries. In Italy it generally makes lighter and finer wines. Trentham Estate is one of the region's leading growers, producing some of the Mallee's most noteworthy, flagship wines. The operation husbands vines of various age, with the oldest being planted in 1952. Grapes are harvested throughout the cool of early morning, crushed, chilled and gently pressed. After settling, the clarified juices are cold fermented until dry. The young wine is allowed to to settle before stabilisation, clarification and bottling. La Famiglia has been minimally handled to highlight the natural expression of Pinot Gris.
