La Prova Pinot Grigio 2024
2024 Pinot Grigio, Adelaide Hills
Vibrant, racy, bright.
We love Pinot Grigio for the refreshing crispness it brings to the bar or table. Luckily it’s also perfectly suited to the cooler growing conditions of the Adelaide Hills where we continually see it shine.
Climate | Cooler due to elevation.
Season | The 2024 growing season started wet and cool, then finished warm and dry during tipening period.
Source | Grown in the high, cool central Adelaide Hills. The sites and aspects of south-east and east facing slopes are the pick for early ripening Pinot Grigio which allows the fruit to ripen more slowly. The three vineyards that we select fruit for this wine are in Ashton, Woodside and Lobethal.
Winemaking | Hand-picked, chilled overnight and whole-bunch-pressed the following day. This is to get the most pristine free run juice possible, with no phenolics. After we have gone to all those careful lengths we take the gloves off, allow the juice to oxidise and get some fluffy lees into the ferment. This is where we get the savoury note to the bright, vibrant wine. Vegan friendly.
Style | Aromas of Nashi pears and apples, which are also found on the dry, crisp refreshing palate. Great intensity and liveliness.
Released | November 2024
