Crafted in an off-dry style, this wine displays delicious aromas of orange blossom, white peach, nashi pear and apple.

The palate is a lovely balance of texture and acidity, flavours of pear, stone fruit and zesty citrus. A fresh and crisp finish with an elegant touch of floral.

The Japanese word 'Kirameki' signifies the rocks that shimmer alongside the one hectare of sloping Pinot Gris vines at the Northern tip of our vineyard. 

Awards

Stylish and complex, the engaging bouquet shows ripe stone fruit, dried herb, lime peel, poached pear and oatmeal aromas, leading to a concentrated palate displaying outstanding weight and persistency. Wonderfully framed by refined texture and bright acidity, finishing impressively long and expansive. Wine Orbit 2023 (5 STARS)

This Pinot Gris is juicy and appetizing, with crunchy fruit and spice on an off-dry palate. Match with pad Thai and pulled pork tacos. Candice Chow by Raymond Chan Reviews 2022 (4 STARS)

Winemaking Notes

The fruit for this ʻKiramekiʼ Pinot Gris was hand harvested on 21 April 2023 at 23.2 brix from the one hectare of sloping Pinot Gris vines at the Northern tip of our vineyard that sit alongside the shimmering rocks, known as ʻKiramekiʼ in Japanese.

The fruit was destemmed and crushed, then whole bunch pressed to tank for cold settling for two days. The juice was then racked and inoculated with selected wine yeasts and fermented in a stainless steel tank to retain the varietal and fruit characteristics. The fermentation was stopped at 7.1 grams/litre of residual sugar to enhance palate weight but also to balance acidity.
