Fresh & aromatic, plenty of flavour & texture. Pear, spiced ginger, fresh acidity.

A distant cousin of Riesling, Pinot Gris is a variety that speaks a universal language of moreish-ness. The long, cold nights in this high-country region in North Eastern Victoria make for elongated growing periods - the perfect climate to allow Pinot Gris to develop lots of flavour. We return to the same family-run vineyard for our Pinot Gris fruit every year.

Grapes were picked at optimum ripeness for a harmonious balance between flavour and natural acidity, then we quickly pressed-off the skins to maintain freshness and purity of the fruit flavours. Both fermentation and maturation happened in the company of the remaining solids, to build on the existing flavour and texture – creating… well, more flavour and texture.

The result: generosity of everything – in keeping with the Noisy Ritual Code of Ethics.
