2024 Havilah Pinot Gris

Fruit sourced from growers on the west tamar, we always pick gris in two waves. The first parcel comes from Chartley, just as flavour accumulates, some time soaking on skins prior to pressing off to chase the flavour. This mostly goes to barrel, a mix of barrique and puncheon, all seasoned, this is more or less the stock cube for our wine, heaps of texture.

The later picks all go to stainless, nice cold & steady ferments, looking for classical pristine Tasmanian style here. Everything stayed on lees for around 3 months before assembling and resting a little longer on light lees until the time was right to head to bottle. 

More textural and generous in flavour than the previous year, somewhat of a hallmark of the season.
