With the few days of spring over and the near summer-like temperatures, the dedicated vineyard crew are working long hours unburying the 50 000 plus canes prior to bud swell. Despite riding this viticultural fine line each year, the level of anxiety remains high even with such a great crew. Mother nature always has a curve ball up her sleeve!!
With spring rapidly moving into summer, the timing of the release of our 2012 Pinot Gris could not be more perfect. The 2012 Pinot Gris is fresh and vibrant with lovely lemon/lime citrus notes and a wonderful minerality derived from our calcareous rocky soils (available online or winery only). If you are looking for something a little richer, there are a few bottles of our magnificent 2009 Chardonnay in Vintages. The Burgundian centric Japanese market has snapped up the last 70 cases of this wine in one month. Only available in Vintages, completely sold out at the winery.
