Hesketh - Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris 2025
Pinot Gris grown on mature vines in the Adelaide Hills at ~400m elevation. D1V7 selection of the variety which has small, uniformed clusters of fruit and less colour than other clones. Fruit was machine harvested in the cool of the night, then destemmed and gently pressed in one cut. The juice was then oxidatively handled without any sulphur additions, so as not to bind colour or phenolic compounds. Fermentation was completed to dryness over nine days. The wine then spent several months resting on full yeast lees to add texture and complexity.
Tasting Notes
Juicy and balanced, a Pinot Gris with personality. Creamy and full of zesty acid line.
