Pinot Gris 2021

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.

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”
