When making the 2013 Sidewood Pinot Gris, winemaker Tash Mooney carefully selects the best parcels of fruit from the vineyard that are hand-picked once the Pinot Gris has reached optimum Baume. It then begins its journey through the winery from being whole bunch pressed through to the fermentation process, ensuring at all times that the wines are at optimum temperatures to ascertain the quality of the wine. The 2013 Pinot Gris is pale straw with copper-pink hues, this wine displays vibrant aromas of guava and passionfruit on the nose. This leads to an intense flavour of nashi pear and tropical fruits on the palate with great structure from the crisp and well balanced acid. With its full structure, superb minerality and generous full mid palate it finishes with outstanding length and balance. A great accompaniment to freshly seared scallops, aromatic Thai spiced dishes or enjoy with a grilled vegetable cous cous as a vegetarian option.

A favourite Grigio (though Gris by name) from the dynamic Zonte's Footstep team on great form with this bright Adelaide Hills treasure. A frequent Gold and high score winner. Reviewing a previous vintage, Ken Gargett WinePilot commented: "Always great fun to review the Zonte’s Footstep wines – cracking wines, brilliant value and some weird and wacky labels… It does hover between the two styles – Gris and Grigio – which is, I guess, the point. 92pts" Sam Kim Wine Orbit has called it "Fresh and elegant… finishing crip-dry and lingering. 92pts" An assessment certainly apt for this vintage too.

The team at Oakridge are going from strength to strength these days and they are taking the Over The Shoulder range with them. Dry maraschino cherry and gently gamey yet clean mouthful of delicious Pinot! Really great finishing length for this sort of price!
