Description
The grapes used in crafting the 2022 Beside Broke Road Pinot Gris were obtained from Bendigo, a wine region situated in central Victoria characterized by a Mediterranean climate featuring dry summers and wet winters. To ensure optimal quality, the fruit was harvested during the early hours of the morning when it was at its coolest, and subsequently underwent a light pressing before being fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures. After fermentation, the wine was left to mature on yeast lees for an extended period to enhance its complexity and texture. The end result is a classic Pinot Gris with a cool-climate style that boasts lively citrus notes, accompanied by hints of pear and ginger. On the palate, the citrus and pear flavors are prevalent and complemented by a fine-grained texture and a soft acidic finish that is characteristic of this variety. The wine is light, fresh, and mildly spiced, making it an ideal pairing for Asian cuisine, seafood, and pasta. Although it is recommended to consume it when young, it can also be cellared for 5 or more years.
