Ronin
Varietal: Pinot Gris
Region: Adelaide Hills
Country: Australia
Format: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Pinot Gris from the stunning certified organic Landsdowne Vineyard, Adelaide Hills. We implemented a smoother pruning to allow a better fruit set through an easier sap flow.
The hill soil is composed of clay over Schist slate and vines facing South West for an optimum sun exposure & air flow.
The Pinot Gris is hand-picked & carbonically macerated for a week, then foot-stomped to start a proper infusion of skin & stems in the grape juice. This is left to infuse for three months in a stainless-steel tank.
Pressed on the last warm day at the end of May, the Ronin is then gravity racked into old French barriques for a 8 months elevage.
Bottled on site in our Basket Range winery without fining nor filtration.
