2024 Hand Crafted Pinot Grigio

Hand Crafted

Limestone Coast

Story: Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are two sides of the same coin. Different names for the same varietal. Since the grape has cultural significance in both Italy and France the name used in Australia is often indicates style. To that end, we use the term Pinot Grigio in our Hand-Crafted range to indicate a light to medium fruit forward style that finishes clean crisp and dry.   

Vintage: The 2024 Vintage at K1 was initiated by a very wet spring after a relatively dry July, August and September. The wet period included two large rainfalls during November and early December leading to spoilt flowering, very low berry numbers and an extremely low crop in most varieties. These low crops were blessed with cool dry conditions throughout the three months up to vintage giving fabulous flavour development very much like the 2002 season which makes me confident of wines that will age brilliantly.

Nose: Pear, white nectarine, and lemon with hints of apple blossom and spice.

Palate: Vibrant Nashi pear and green apple with hints of citrus fruits with a dry crisp finish.

Pairing: Crispy skinned Salmon with wilted greens tossed in lemon caper butter                 

Cellaring: Drink now or to 2026
