Certified Organic Suitable for Vegans Both grape growing and wine making have elements of beauty and chaos embedded within.

The result is a highly aromatic and deliciously dry, textured wine that exudes exotic fruit and ginger spice; complemented by a firm phenolic structure. Winemaking Two parcels of Pinot Gris and one of Riesling were each harvested by hand, destemmed then fermented naturally and aged on skins in small clay amphorae and a small stainless tank. The parcels were gently hand plunged daily during fermentation and left on skins for a total of 24 days. After ferment, the first pick of Pinot Gris was basket pressed to neutral oak and the later pick of Pinot Gris was pressed with the Riesling to neutral oak. The wine remained in barrel on lees for five months undergoing malolactic fermentation naturally. The barrels were then racked gently into a small stainless steel vessel to clarify naturally for two weeks prior to bottling. It was bottled without any stabilisation, fining or filtration and with a minimal sulphur addition. Vintage 2022 will be remembered for its challenging nature, which kept us on our toes after a run of remarkably effortless vintages in a row. Dry, stable weather over flowering lead to an abundant fruit set, and with consistent small rain events we enjoyed fantastic vigour across the whole vineyard. Leading into the harvest period the region endured some significant rainfall events, which increased berry and bunch size, but also disease pressure, unfortunately. […]
