From the Terra Sancta vineyard on Felton Road, a single plot of Pinot Gris amongst the oldest Pinot Noir vines on the Bannockburn property. A pale straw-green colour in the glass. Lifted aromatics, with a distinct floral honeysuckle note, sitting atop flavours pear, ginger, apricot, melon and weetbix. Just off-dry with plush fruit flavours immediate on the palate. Plenty of warm spice – cardamom, vanilla and nutmeg leads into a creamy texture. There is a touch of wet-stone minerality and some grippy phenolics though, that lift the tone and steer you into a drier, more pithy finish. 90pts
