Tasting Profile
February 2025
Classic aromatics of fresh pear, pink lady apple and subtle citrus, with secondary notes of freshly picked spice and white florals providing complexity. The palate is bright and fresh with flavours of pear, apple and a hint of grapefruit. Creamy midpalate sweetness from barrel fermentation and time on lees provides an additional layer while a subtle line of phenolics adds to the texture. The wine is fastened by a bright line of acid that drives the wine from start to finish.

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
