Description
Leading biodynamic winery Delatite is renowned for their aromatic whites and spectacular vineyard located in the foothills of Victoria’s alpine country with snowcapped Mt Buller as backdrop. Uncompromising cool climate viticulture… definitely can taste pristine rivers, towering mountain ranges and sweet alpine air in this delicious expression of Pinot Gris!
From the winery: Our Pinot Gris was picked over a period of two weeks with each block being picked at its optimum ripeness. The fruit was whole bunch pressed and then was allowed to undergo wild fermentation, with 25% of the juice being fermented in large old oak barrels (500L Puncheons). The wine was then left on its lees for a year with the barrels being stirred occasionally to help release the wild yeast characters from the dead yeast cells.
This Gris is full and round with the Hungarian oak giving the nose and palate warm vanillin notes that complement the ripe pear characters of the fruit. The finish is long and flavoursome. This wine has great complexity from the oak and fruit. Perfect for drinking now but it will age well for eight years allowing the oak flavours to further integrate and making the wine more savoury.
