2018 Josef Chromy Pepik Pinot Grigio, Northern Tasmania

Josef Chromy, and many other good makers of Australian pinot gris, leave 5-7g/l of residual sugar in the wine, New Zealand makers using much higher levels, partly to balance high acidity. Our wines are better, juicy and fresh.

This Pinot Grigio is harvested at optimum ripeness in order to retain crisp acidity and freshness. The bunches are gently destemmed without crushing and the juice pressed directly to stainless steel tanks. The fermentation is carried out with a relatively neutral yeast to showcase the varietal characters.
