2023 Cornelius Pinot Gris

Tasting Note Intense and complex nose displaying nashi pear, lemon curd with a hint of musk, savoury notes and oak. The palate is full and rich with pear and citrus flavours, savoury backbone and cedar oak finish. The juicy acid gives a mineral edge to the wine which will ensure great cellaring over the next 5 to 8 years Technical Note Winemaking Region: Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria. Clone:DIV6. Soil Type: Self mulching black vertosol derived from tertiary basalt. Winemaking: Hand picked, whole bunch pressed with free run juice to barrel, wild fermentation then took place over 10 days.
