'First Cut' Pinot Grigio 2024

2024 | Adelaide Hills | Pinot Grigio

 The principle behind our first cut wines revolves around the winemaking term ‘first cut’ in which during the pressing cycle the softer free run juice/wine is separated from the second cut or pressings. This principle flows through to the style of First Cut wines, producing wines with great drinkability well suited to be enjoyed with food or as a drink with friends.

Tasting Notes:
Lifted aromas of fresh citrus, ripe melon and stone fruits.

The generous palate has a soft, yet delicate structure with typical varietal flavours of nashi pear and lychee. The wine has a delightful creaminess but finishes dry with beautifully balanced acidity.

Vineyards:
Sourced from a single high-altitude vineyard in the Northern Adelaide Hills. Picked at optimum ripeness to retain freshness and natural acidity while capturing generous fruit characters.

Winemaking:
Selectiv® Harvested in the early morning prior to sunrise. Cold pressed off skins immediately to minimise colour pickup. Cold Settled for 72 hours then racked off lees and fermented with mixed culture yeasts.
