Description
Vintage 2022
Grapes for our Art Series wines are sourced from a selection of premium
vineyards within the renowned Limestone Coast growing region. The diversity
in climate and geography makes it the perfect fruit source for the equally
diverse Art Series range.
Vineyards are carefully selected based on their suitability for each wine’s
individual personality. We look to warmer sub-regions for reds and cooler sub-regions for the whites. The wines are then crafted to a consistent style and
quality, which is perfect for everyday drinking or more salubrious occasions.
Background
Pinot Grigio thrives in cool growing conditions, so our fruit source for this wine
is at the southern end of the Limestone Coast where the cooling influence of
the southern ocean delivers in spades. The resulting fruit possesses high levels
of natural acidity and clean, focused varietal flavors – our Rules of
Engagement.
Following harvest the grapes are pressed and left to cold settle for two days
before the clarified juice is run off into tank. The subsequent juice is fermented
and stored in stainless steel for 4 months in order to retain the inherent bright
fruit characteristics.
