Sidewood Estate Pinot Gris
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.
Primo Estate JOSEPH d'Elena Pinot Grigio
Joe Grilli, Primo Estate’s owner and winemaker, named his Pinot Grigio 'd’Elena' as he planted his single hectare of Pinot Grigio vines the week his daughter Elena was born in 1998. Eighteen years later, the vines have developed deep roots in the shale stone soil and produce a savoury style Pinot Grigio with minerality and elegance. The fruit is handpicked and very gently pressed before fermentation in stainless steel. The wine is bottled early to preserve the delicate fruit characters. Best enjoyed young, this wine will drink well for several years. The d'Elena offers fresh citrus fruit acidity and light pear fruit. This wine's natural acidic balance and savoury mineral length make it the perfect food wine.
Quarry Hill Charcoal Gap Pinot Noir
A softly textured Pinot Noir showing aromatic notes of red forest fruits, complex spice and forest floor. A refreshing mid-palate and fine, persistent tannins. The fruit comes from 25 year old vines grown in the deep granite soils of Tumbarumba in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains.
Nick O'Leary Pinot Gris
Fresh pears golden and nashi, jasmine flowers, white peach and a wet grass, earthy aspect. The palate starts broad and soft then turns quite angular and grippy on the back palate. More tart apples and lemon on the palate to contrast with the pears, the acid is firm but not over the top giving a great long finish.
