Wangolina Pinot Gris 2024 (12 Bottles) Mt Benson, Limestone Coast

$239.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Fragrant, textural & spicy. Cool climate Pinot Gris grown in our Mt Benson vineyard.

Since we planted this variety in 2007, it has flourished in the cool climate of our coastal environment. A reliably crisp and ultimately approachable wine, the slower ripening ensures layers of complexity and texture to add interest to this wine. Typically vinified in stainless steel, with a generous portion spending time in our Foudre to accentuate the depth of flavour.

The 2023 Pinot Gris is a particularly fragrant year of pear blossom and honeysuckle. The palate is delightfully textural of white stonefruit and hints of spice and vanilla. A gorgeous wine, and one of the favourites at the Wangolina Cellar Door.

About Wangolina Wines

Anita has been a ‘part of the fabric’ at Wangolina since inception, working in every facet of the family business. Graduating with an Oenology degree at Adelaide University in 2001, she went on to work consecutive vintages overseas and within Australia to broaden her knowledge, exposure and experience before returning to her home in Mt Benson. Taking the reins as sole Owner/ Director in 2013, she has continued to evolve the Wangolina range and vineyard plantings to capitalise on the cool climate regionality and coastal capabilities of Mt Benson.

Our vineyard is situated in the “Hundred of Mt Benson” as they used to say, on Limestone Coast Road, Mt Benson. Established in 1999 by John & Anita Goode with plantings of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Semillon & Sauvignon Blanc, the vineyard has now expanded to include Pinot Gris, Grüner Veltliner and Malvasia Istriana (which is super exciting).

The sandy loam over limestone soils provide the ideal soil condition for vine growth, plentiful supplies of fresh subterranean water (which filters through the limestone) and the temperate climate, which is moderated by the influence of the Great Southern Ocean, all providing excellent conditions for vineyards to thrive and produce high quality wines. Our vineyard is located approximately 12kms as the bird flies from the sea at Cape Jaffa.
