Under & Over Pinot Gris

Region: King Valley
Vintage: 2010
Winemaker: Corey Ryan

Colour: Pale in colour with excellent clarity
Aroma: This wine has a lovely nose full of rose petals and orange blossoms and clean minerality.
Palate: The palate is fruit driven and light to medium bodied with pear and nectarine flavours matched by spicy, floral nuances and classic ‘Gris’ texture.

Vinification and Maturation
The fruit is sourced from high altitude vineyards in the King Valley where long, sunny Autumn days combine with cool nights produce balanced fruit. The vinification is cool, quick and precise to maximise fruit purity. The wine is matured on lees in stainless steel to build texture and maintain fresh acidity
