Wine Description
Landaire Pinot Gris is hand harvested to preserve the pristine fruit quality which Carolyn and David Brown grow in their Padthaway vineyard. The attention to detail in the vineyard shows through in this wine: bright, william pear fruit, citrus and subtle spice aromas. Dry, light-bodied and refreshing. A small portion of the blend was fermented in older oak barrique to capture the textural element of the variety.
Winemaker's Bio
Carolyn is Landaire’s vigneron. Carolyn firmly believes that quality and style are set in the vineyard. She hands-on manages the vines for optimal quality, selects the grapes, the timing of harvest, and the final blend of the Landaire and Eliza wines. Of Swiss-heritage, Carolyn was born in country Victoria and studied Agriculture at Melbourne University, completing her PhD in the field of plant biochemistry at Adelaide University. Her post-doctoral work was at CSIRO in Adelaide. In 1998 Carolyn married David and moved to the Padthaway wine region and together they planted their premium vineyards and established Landaire Wines.
