DRINKS LIKE: Lemon blossom. Lychee. Green apple. Toasty Vanilla. Crisp acid. Flinty finish.
LOVE IT FOR: Being an inbetweener. Sits somewhere between Riesling and Pinot Gris.

Season
The 2023 season was long and cool. Steady and consistent ripening matched with low crop loads ensured all varieties ripened well with the benefit of good-sized canopies. Mild, cool nights enhanced flavour development. The resulting wines are richly flavoured and high in quality with incredible aromatics.
Vinification
Hand-harvested Pinot Blanc grapes were whole-bunch pressed, and the clear juice inoculated with aromatic yeast. Slow, cool fermentation in our cellar naturally going through partial malolactic fermentation. A small batch, aged in six French oak barrels, 14% new, resulted in a refined Pinot Blanc.
