Season
2025 was the driest growing season on record in the Adelaide Hills. This led to slightly lower yields and a very early start to the vintage. We avoided severe heat waves, but it was our quintessential cool Adelaide Hills nights that allowed the fruit to develop beautiful flavour and hold onto its natural acidity.
Vinification
The free run juice was fermented in stainless steel, with a small portion of pressings fermented in barrel adding texture and weight. Bottled early to retain freshness and vibrancy

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.
