Tasting Profile
November 2022
A serious and focused style of Pinot Gris, the nose opens with typical orchard fruits, with the added complexity of a musk note and a hint of lees-influenced reduction. The palate is tightly framed, with a citrus intensity and subtle softness in the mid-palate. It is rounded out by fine, pithy phenolics that give structure and power.

Halliday Wine Companion, June 2023
Jane Faulkner
Lots of lemony acidity weaving through the delicate pear and ginger flavours, and it’s quite a tangy rendition. Still, some texture and a light tug of phenolics bolster the palate to category gris.

The Vintage
The Vineyard
Beurrot comprises two Pinot Gris parcels: the tiny original 0.24 hectare section annexing the Meres block, and the all-Pinot Gris block which, at 2.74 hectares, provides the majority of the fruit. The large block is planted to a density of 5,600 vines per hectare.
The fruit was gently whole-bunch pressed directly into all old French oak oak, where fermentation commenced spontaneously with ambient yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine was ages on lees (without battonage) for ten months. The wine was bottled without fining and with minimal filtration
