Valli Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Gris
Valli Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Gris 2020
“Rock melon, lime zest, nashi pear, and wet stone on the nose accentuated by a subtle earthy character. The fresh palate exudes ripe citrus, crunchy pear and great drive; showing the intense focus of a cooler growing season. This is a dry and seamless wine with a richly textured midpalate that is complemented by a vibrant vein of acidity that gives the wine great length. Our Pinot Gris is great for food pairing but also delicious on its own and very age worthy” Jen Parr

Valli Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Gris 2018
“Pear, lime zest, almond, and mandarin on the nose accentuated by an intense mineral character. A very aromatic Pinot Gris with a distinctive creamy texture from a notably warmer growing season. The palate exudes delicious fruit flavours including many types of pear, white peach and citrus. We see riper citrus appearing in this vintage with a wonderful hint of orange. A richly textured midpalate is complimented by a vibrant vein of acidity that gives the wine great length. Our Pinot Gris is great for food pairing but also delicious on its own and very ageworthy.” Jen Parr

Valli Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Gris 2017
- "Pear, lime zest, almond and cream soda on the nose accentuated by an intense mineral character. A very aromatic Pinot Gris with fantastic cool climate freshness from a notably cool growing season with an intensity coming from the unusually small bunches. The Palate is laden with fruit flavours including many types of pear (Anjou, Williams and Nashi), white peach and citrus. A beautifully textured mid palate is complimented by a vibrant vein of acidity that runs through the wine giving it drive and length. Our Pinot Gris is great for food pairing, delicious on its own and very age worthy. This vintage in particular is one our Winemakers believe will highly reward those hide some in the cellar."

Valli Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Gris 2016
"Nashi pear, lime zest and white nectarine on the nose with a hint of vanilla and raw almond. An intensely aromatic Pinot Gris with fantastic cool climate freshness ans layers of fruit flavours including citrus, crunchy pear and white peaches. A vibrant vein of acidity runs throughout the palate giving the wine drive and length - it almost seems to dance in the glass. This style of Pinot Gris is great for food pairing, delicious on its own and will also reward cellaring."

"Nashi pear and granny smith apple on the nose with a hint of vanilla and raw almond. The barrel component gives a creaminess to the mid-palate with layers of fruit flavours: lime cordial, pears and white peaches. A vibrant vein of acidity runs throughout the palate giving the wine drive and length - it almost seems to dance in the glass. This style of Pinot Gris is great for food pairing and will also reward cellaring."
Valli Gibbston Vineyard Pinot Gris 2014
"Freshly-baked apple pie on the nose with pineapple lifesaver fruit notes. Round and full at entry, broad and rich mid palate with layers of fruit flavours: apples, pears and white peaches. Bright, clean acid tightens up the finish, keeps the wine lively and gives it length. This style of Pinot Gris will reward cellaring.”
