Pinot Gris

WHY WE LOVE THIS WINE

This wine shows off fresh fruit purity of green melon, bosc pear and a touch of honey suckle. The palate is bright with minerality and citrus flavours shining through. Length, purity and savoury spice make this wine a classic expression of Yarra Valley Pinot Gris.

Handpicked Wines embodies a culture of organic and sustainable wine growing based on classic wine regions and special vineyard estates

One of Australia’s premier cool climate wine regions, the Yarra Valley encompasses such diverse topography that it can produce premium quality fruit in a range of grape varieties.

With its stunning hills and dales ranged before a backdrop of blue mountains (the lower reaches of the Great Dividing Range that stretches up Australia’s eastern seaboard), elevations vary greatly. Although they are not recognised as sub-regions, there are two distinct zones – the valley floor, with soils of sandy clay loam interspersed with broken sandstone; and the Upper Yarra Valley, which is more elevated and cooler and has areas of bright red volcanic loam.
