Ravensworth Pinot Gris 2025

In a similar story to the last few years, fruit for this year’s Pinot Gris is an equal split from two vineyards: Long Rail Gully and Ravensworth. The Long Rail Gully vineyard in Murrumbateman sits on granite soils at a slightly lower elevation of 600 metres. Bryan Martin treats his Pinot Gris like a red wine. The fruit is destemmed to a one-tonne open-top vessel where it ferments on skins for four weeks. Once the cap sinks, the wine is pressed to tank to settle before bottling. The '25 vintage was a "perfect year" according to Bryan: a little rain, a little warmth and a lot of delicious fruit.
