Barossa - Eden Valley Pinot Gris
Vineyard: Sorby Adams Margret Pinot Gris is grown in the Eden Valley region of Williamstown situated at the Southern end of the Barossa. Rainfall is higher between 600 - 750ml with altitude of 470m. Soil structure is sandy loam over fractured rock high in acidity.
Season: Exceptional quality was achieved from the 2019 vintage but extremely limited quantities produced; due to the lower than average rainfall recordings. Frost disrupted the first vine buds in spring and throughout flowering which again reduced overall wine grape supply. The dry ripening season through summer kept disease pressure to a minimum and cooler high country breezes allowed the grapes to ripen for a vintage of premium quality.
Wine making: NA
Appearance: Clear to pale straw
Aroma/Bouquet: Lemon citrus, nashi pear with hints of stone fruit and baked apple.
Palate: Medium texture with lemon citrus, white peach and nashi pear floats through the palate developing complexity with gentle acidity on the finish.
Food Pairing: Try it with grilled shellfish, tapas, spicy foods and matured cheese.
Alcohol: 13%
pH: 3.33
Acidity: 5.4g/L
Residual Sugar: 3.4 g/L
