Primo Estate Joseph Pinot Grigio D'Elena 2025 x 12

Intense fragrance of Nashi pear, apple and citrus fruit. Exotic pear fruit flavour balances green apple acidity on the palate. Elegant, full mouthfeel and a classic mineral finish. Natural acidic balance and savoury mineral length make this the perfect food wine.

Joe Grilli, our winemaker, named his Pinot Grigio "d’Elena". He planted a single hectare of vines in the week his daughter Elena was born, back in 1998. Elena now works harvest, picking fruit from vines that have developed deep roots in the soil. 
VINTAGE CONDITIONS  
The season began with a dry Spring, followed by cool nights and warm late-Summer days. 
Low yields and the dry start hastened ripening, with harvest completed under ideal autumn skies by early March. Though yields were down on previous years, the handpicked 
fruit arrived at the winery in exceptional condition. 
WINEMAKING 
We pick cool climate Adelaide Hills fruit at night to ensure freshness of flavour. We crush in the early hours of the morning. The wine undergoes cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve delicate fruit flavours. We bottle early to capture the vibrancy of this young style. Harvest April 2025

Food Seasonal fresh seafood: snapper, kingfish and sashimi are especially good matches for d’Elena’s texture and length.
