2023 Mystery King Valley Pinot Grigio Deal No. 83

The nose displays apple blossom, green apple, and nectarine, along with strong aromas of white peach with a slight textural and richness through to the palate leaving pronounced acidity, a character typical of cool climate vineyards

Climate – Warm days and cool nights, influenced by the katabatic breeze that sweeps northward down the valley from the high country. Ripening varies with climatic differences down the valley, influencing the styles of wine.
Soils – The variations in topography, soils and climate provide an ideal location for producing fine wine
Harvest – Late Feb – Mid March

Vintage: The growing season in Victoria started with wide spread frosts, warm days with cool nights predominantly with some well-timed rain events, all allowing Pinot Gris to ripen slowly and gently without developing too much colour. Pinot Gris was harvested on the 29th February during the cool of night. The season has produced Pinot Gris with fine acidity, subtle notes of pear, nashi and of quince balanced up with a finely textured palate.
