Wine

Ashwood Estate Pinot Gris is a succulent wine reminiscent of the highly sought after, more opulent styles of Alsace, France. Pale salmon straw in colour with flavours of pear, nectarine and honeysuckle. The palate is weighty, yet smooth with soft acids and a distinctive oiliness, characteristic of great Pinot Gris. Enjoy today or cellar for up to 10 years from vintage date.

Ashwood EstatePinot Gris is a perfect match for spicy Asian cuisine and rich seafood, especially shellfish.

(Pinot Gris is a white variant-clone of Pinot Noir. In most parts of the world the variety is made as a simple, dry quaffing white wine Pinot Grigio, as it is known in Italy).

Wine Making

Ashwood Estate carefully handpicks the fruit at optimum ripeness and allows 12 hours skin contact before gently pressing. Half the free run was fermented in chilled stainless steel tanks and the other half in German oak ovals. The wine was then bottled after eight months of bulk maturation in the oak ovals.
