A selection of five different Pinot Gris clones were hand harvested from the Cromwell Basin Vineyard in late March. We go to great lengths to select only the absolute best small parcels of fruit from the entire vineyard to make our Falls Dam. Fruit is assessed daily during the ripening period to identify optimum sugar/acid balance and desired flavour characteristics for harvest.
Falls Dam Pinot Gris shows aromatics of wildflowers, white peach, persimmon and honeysuckle. Add to this, hints of white spice and silty stony minerality to give a gentle perfume familiar to this varietal. The palate is richly textured with elegance and poise and shows great depth and persistence.
