This wine is made from Pinot Gris grapes grown at four vineyards in the Canberra District (including Lerida Estate).
On the nose, it shows honeysuckle, violets, apple, pear and citrus aromas. The palate is rich and flavoursome with a long citrusy finish and some savoury characters from the 5% barrel fermentation. Drink now and will age up to 3 years.
