Smith & Hooper Pinot Grigio 2023 (6 Bottles) Wrattonbully

$126.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The Smith & Hooper Pinot Grigio shows the purity of our Wrattonbully vineyards and the delicacy and flavour of the variety.

Pale straw in colour with green hues. Aromas of fresh pear juice with hints of red apple and strawberry. The pear and strawberry flavours continue on the palate, where they are joined with custard apple and anise, creating a rich and succulent palate. The wine finishes with lingering acidity and a hint of musk.

Grapes were gently pressed to minimise colour and tannin extraction from the pink skins. Fermentation proceeded on full solids, conducted by yeast indigenous to the vineyard. The wine was then left on its lees until preparation for bottling.

Description

Situated approximately 350 km South East of Adelaide, and merely a stone’s throw from the famed Coonawarra, lies “Wrattonbully”, the home of Smith & Hooper.

A 2600-hectare region, that not only boasts terra rossa soil (the secret beneath some of Australia’s most celebrated wines) but also a maritime climate, 1° warmer than that of the neighbouring Coonawarra.

This not only allows the fruit time to ripen abundantly; it also prevents plants bushing too quickly.

However, while Wrattonbully has its ups, it also has its downs. In fact, due to the undulating landscape, often the simplest things require a vastly different plan of attack.
