Pinot Grigio has lovely aromas of fresh-cut pears and peaches accented by soft citrus blossom notes. The palate is bursting with juicy nashi pear, honeydew melon and lemon sherbet flavours beautifully balanced with bright crunchy acidity.

Below-average winter rainfall, followed by a warm and dry spring, provided the perfect stage for a great vintage. A hot dry December and then cooler temperatures in the new year with rainfall around veraison in late January/early February. This brought relief to our early-ripening varieties that were beginning to show signs of stress and rapid ripening. The result was excellent conditions for natural acid retention and clean fruit. This was followed by further rainfall in early March, which eased the stress on the late-ripening varieties, allowing them to mature towards a predicted earlier harvest due to an early Easter. Overall harvest, was characterised by average yields but very high quality.

The Pinot Grigio is grown on a single vineyard site in the Gumeracha region of the Adelaide Hills. Being the more northern part of the Hills, temperatures are mildly warmer. The vines are planted in shallow loam over rock and granular soils. The vine age is near 20 years and they are spur pruned on single cordon arm. The aspect is fairly flat and even although surrounded by hills. In drier years this vineyard gets severely frosted.

About Seabrook Wines

Seabrook Wines is a classic winery in every sense – it is an estate vineyard with a 20ha Vineyard of Shiraz, Cabernet and Mataro. The wines are made on site by Hamish Seabrook who is both the Winemaker and Vigneron. Hamish and Jo live onsite and tend to the vineyard year round with the belief that great wines are made in the vineyard.

Varieties such as Pinot Grigio and Riesling are also grown in the cooler climates of Adelaide Hills and Eden Valley by contracted growers and then made onsite. There is even a Great Western Shiraz available from old family vines.

William Seabrook first established the family business in Melbourne as Wine Merchants in 1878 which traded for four generations and over 100 years. The Generations range is a tip of the hat to those predecessors. Hamish is the first Winemaker of the family and the connection with the wine industry has always been strong with the Seabrook family name.
