Fruity and friendly, this easy-going pinot gris shows ripe stone fruit, baked pear and floral aromas with a hint of mixed spice. The palate is juicy and lively, and delivers appealing fruit intensity and bright acidity, finishing succulent and smooth. At its best: now to 2018. July 2016.

Full flavours of white peach and citrus.

Our 2018 vintage Pinot Gris from the cool climate region of Hilltops, New South Wales is a pale straw in colour. The nose carries lifted notes of tinned pears and musk, whilst on the palate rich fruit tones with hints of pear and honey dominate on a balanced acid backbone. Good length and a generous mouthfeel complete this wine. 

Beurrot by Kooyong is comprised of two Pinot Gris parcels: the tiny original 0.24 hectare section annexing the Meres block, and the all-Pinot Gris Beurrot vineyard, which at 2.74 hectares, provides the majority of the fruit. The Beurrot vineyard is planted to a density of 5600 vines per hectare. The grapes are gently whole-bunch pressed directly into all-used French oak barriques, where fermentation takes place without inoculation. After fermentation the wine is aged on lees (without battonage) for 10 months. It is bottled without fining and with minimal filtration.
