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
Slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel followed by fermentation in barrel for texture. Early bottling to retain freshness.

Style-wise, The Lane 2023 Gris sits on the cusp between Grigio and Gris. Combines the two vinous personalities – Grigio’s green apple, lemony crunch and crispness with Gris-like pear and spice. Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats and was followed by time in oak. It contributes some discreet and attractive textural properties to the wine which is noted for its youthful acid drive. Super fresh to taste with good depth of fruit in Nashi pear, apple, lemon and a whisper of spring-like honeysuckle and clean spice. While on the crisper side for a Gris, it can actually open up more food matching possibilities especially when it comes to seafood.

Lifted notes of pear drops and mandarins make way for a cushioned core. This offers texture and a feeling of lightness on the savoury core, which beckons you back for a second glasses.
