Description
Hoddles Creek, under the guidance of Franco D'Anna, continue to push the boundaries of value for money in Australian wine. This latest release of their much-loved Pinot Gris is a brilliant value proposition - and arguably the best pound-for-pound Gris in the country.
Unlike many Pinot Gris/Grigio, this is made with care and intent. The fruit is picked in two stages; the first is foot stomped to allow the juice to make contact with the skins, picking up vital phenolics and texture, before naturally fermenting and being sent to barrel. The second batch was made, in essence, like a red wine - fermented on skins for a week and pressed once dry.
It has flavour, it has texture, it has drinkability. If you want to see this variety in full flight, you need to try this wine. At this price, it's as good as Pinot Gris gets.

"A beautifully made and interesting pinot gris to pair with everything from cheese to grilled fish and chicken."

"Refreshing and thirst-quenching too. Wonderful stuff, though I reckon it fleshing out a little with time in bottle is ideal."
