Close planted (4166 vines/ha) means competition for scarce nutrients is high. As a consequence, we ask each vine to produce less bunches and work hard to concentrate rich flavours that define Pinot Gris. Concurrently cold nights and ironstone soils infuse a definitive flintiness or mineral character. Once picked cool, slow ferments and time on full lees build texture and depth of flavour, thereby creating the perfect chilled aperitif.

Minimum intervention winemaking allows the vineyard to do the talking. The Block Series are stylish, fresh, fruit driven wines with a true sense of place
