Heirloom Vineyards Adelaide Hills Pinot Grigio 2024 x 12
2024 ADELAIDE HILLS PINOT GRIGIO
Heirloom Vineyards was conceived in vintage 2000, when a young winemaking
student caught the eye of a silly old wine judge. A love story ensued inspired
by two vows: To preserve the best of tradition, the old world of wine and
our unique old vineyards and to champion the best clones of each variety
planted in the most appropriate sites embracing the principals of organic
and biodynamic farming. Seven long vintages of trial and error passed before
Heirloom Vineyards could make a wine that was fine enough to pass on to
future generations. That is this wine.
This Heirloom Vineyards Pinot Grigio was produced from our best Adelaide
Hills Vineyard whose clones and viticulture embody the very best in cutting
edge but old school viticulture and winemaking. Hand tended vines, sorted
bunch-by-bunch, naturally fermented free run juice, and bottled immediately
to retain the purity of the fruit.
OUR WINE NOTES
Pinot Grigio can be a simple sip or a symphony of the senses, a moment of
pleasure or an eternity of contemplation. Only the poet can know, so stop
thinking and surrender.
COLOUR
Pale white-gold; star-bright; clean and clear.
AROMA
Pear skin and fresh pear flesh, freshly cut; there’s also an underlying aromatic
current of dried fruits, fresh flowers and perfume. This is warmly exotic white
wine with a very immediate and arresting quality that surprises rather than
startles.
PALATE
The pear fruit and now musky flavours strike out before a mid-palate
explosion of baths salts and minerality. Green apple and strong citrus zest
f
lavours and textures quickly take over before a laser-like acidity guides the
wine to a long, lengthy finish. There are oodles of citrus and pear and green
apple fruit flavours here, but in a savoury, grown-up guise.
OVERALL
Pure and stylish pinot grigio can be a rara avis, but when you come across
one, such as this wine, give it the full northern Italian treatment. Pears and
melons and cheese and prosciutto and perhaps a risotto bianco with some
artichoke? Or summon all your powers to make antipasti to end all antipasti.
This white wine will refresh and delight
