2021 Estate Pinot Gris
The Wine.
Pale gold with a fragrant nose of rose petals, honeysuckle, ripe yellow pear, perfectly ripe quince and subtle all spice notes. Rich and savoury on the palate with more finesse and elegance than expected from the nose. Pear skin and roasted quince vie with attractive phenolic texture and some nutty savouriness and savoury spice. Fine and long on the finish.
Match a glass of this wine to a few slices of silky spicy mortadella. Perhaps a perfectly ripe washed rind cheese as well.

The 2021 Vintage.
The 2021 vintage at Moorooduc Estate was blessed with a mild, gentle season with rain events throughout, resulting in excellent fruit set, very little vine stress and a paced ripening of fruit. The mild conditions highlighted the different microclimates in the Moorooduc vineyards, with vintage beginning at the normal time (around the 22nd February), but with little pressure on the winery, as different sites and varieties ripened slowly, extending harvest out to late March across our vineyards in the north of the peninsula. The result: a calm harvest, a composed winery team and bright, vivid wines with beautiful natural acidity, and fine phenolics, weaving structure tightly together.
