$176.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The 2024 Carousal Pinot Gris is a pale straw-coloured wine and opens with lifted aromas of red apple, pear and white nectarine, leading to a light-bodied palate that bursts with vibrant citrus flavours. The mid-palate reveals a delightful texture of stone fruits and honeysuckle, culminating in a clean, crisp finish that perfectly captures the region’s distinctive terroir.

Nestled in the cool-climate Alpine Valleys of North East Victoria, this vineyard thrives in the region’s high rainfall and unique cool subalpine continental climate, creating exceptional white wines. Despite the challenges of managing the high moisture and maintaining vine health, the rewards are remarkable each vintage

The fruit is whole berry pressed, with a warm ferment and time spent off gross lees for three months before bottling.

About Carousal Wines

Carousal (noun) / “kuh” + “ROW” + “zuhl”

Definition: A wild, drunken party or celebration – the act of celebrating or enjoying yourself, usually by drinking alcohol and speaking and laughing loudly with other people.
Example: ‘The tavern was filled with the sounds of laughter and carousal late into the night.’

Carousal is all about fun times and coming together, featuring delicious wines from beyond Patrick Sullivan’s Gippsland base. By choosing varieties specifically suited to their ideal growing regions, Patrick proves again he’s a master of all grapes and enjoys the challenge of stepping outside his usual laser-beam focus point of Chardonnay.

A family-led project with his wife Megan, Patrick searches beyond the cool ranges of southern Victoria to celebrate Australia’s great and diverse wine regions, centred around vineyard exploration and the dynamic exchange between winemaker and farmer. At its core, Carousal is about honest farming, respecting each site’s nuances and unique rhythms, and crafting wines with an inherent drinkability – the hallmark of Patrick’s approach.

Carousal is an invitation to embrace life, to enjoy delicious wines with great company, and inspire moments of joy and connection – perfect for pouring in your bar, restaurant… or tavern!

Principal Wines

We are wine lovers with no agenda, except to work with people who grow grapes, and to put their wines into the hands of people we respect.

We bring many years’ collective experience working in restaurants and winemaking to Principal Wine and think we have a pretty good idea of how a great glass of wine tastes.

Things change all the time in the world of wine, but our core values always remain the same - to work with people who make their wine in the vineyard, to have fine wine to sell to places we’d like to drink ourselves, and to provide excellent service.
