2018 Scorpo Pinsanto Late Harvest Pinot Grigio 375ml, Mornington Peninsula

We used fruit from our old Pinot Gris block in Merricks North. We let the fruit mature well into autumn so that the flavours could reach their richest potential and attain full aromatics. We picked when all the elements, including the acidity, were in balance. Harvest date was 23rd April. The fruit was whole bunch pressed to tank, allowed to settle, with coarse solids removed. The must was then inoculated with cultured yeast and once the ferment had started, transferred to four-year-old and older barriques. The ferment was arrested with 140g/L residual sugar remaining and the wine matured on its lees for eight months. It was bottled on 24th January 2019. Suitable for vegans.
