Made in a pure-fruited, medium-bodied style that takes its inspiration from Burgundy rather than northern Italy or Alsace, this funky, nuanced Gris is drawn from a north/northeast-facing site in Merricks with 25-year-old vines.
The fruit was hand-sorted in the vineyard and winery, then pressed and sent with full solids to old puncheons for a wild ferment (which included a 20% whole-bunch component) for three weeks. Maturation was on gross lees in old neutral barrels for seven months.

Reviews

"Barnaby Flanders has put his disco pants on and gone all out funky with this: flinty sulphides, smoky and very savoury. It’s so good. In a way, a pared-back style but still plenty of flavour with crunchy pear, quince doused in spices and a millefeuille of creamy lees."
95 points, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion 2024
“Pear, oranges with skin and oil perfume, a salty matchstick persuasion too. It’s slick, but has requisite cut of acidity lending freshness, so much flavour and spiced orange, a little chalk dust, perhaps a little fairy dust too, because it’s such a good example of Pinot Gris. Finish is long, with oatmeal pancake topped with candied orange and baking spices. I love the grip and presence. It delivers. Super.”
