Wine Description
Vintage
Our fruit was harvested early morning before being transported to the winery
where free run juice was transferred to stainless steel tank for fermentation. Post
ferment the wine is given extended cold settling period to aid settling of solids
before racking and canning. No fining agents or filtration, minimal use of sulphur
dioxide and no malolactic fermentation.
Sensory
Rose water, rock melon and grapefruit greet on the nose, boasting a subtle terpene
lift of spring blossoms and sea-spray. Generous textures and concentrated fruits on
the palate belie a crisp core of quenching acidity and a persistent and citrus driven
finish. A nicely weighted and textural palate frames the wine and gives lingering
spice notes, finishing clean and dry.
Accolades
Jancis Robinson (16pts)
“...My first Frankland River Pinot Gris! Lightly cloudy. Lightly perfumed with
some varietal character and without much sweetness. Quite broad on the
palate, slightly peachy and well balanced....Drink 2022-2023”
