2024 10X Pinot Gris
2024 10X Pinot Gris
Pear and guava notes add to the lively expression of fruit of this wine and the chalky fine undertones of ginger and clove spice. This wine is driven and textural and is a great expression of the Gris style.

Other Notes
After a wet spring, the 2024 season gave ample sunlight and ideal ripening conditions across all varieties. Phenological ripeness was uniform and flavours although delayed, were abundant in great concentrations.

Winemaker Notes
Handpicked fruit was whole bunch pressed to a combination of older barriques and concrete to complete wild fermentation.
Individual barrels were stirred to create texture while others were simply left to express their bright primary fruit. Barrels were then blended and bottling unfined and filtered.
