Download Full Winemaker Note
At release the wine is a pale straw with a slight green tinge to the edge.
Wine Bouquet
The wine has distinctly lifted varietal aromas of nashi pear, baked apple and spice. The overall bouquet is fresh, clean and very enticing.
Wine Palate
This wine, crafted in the French style of the varietal, has an elegant palate with regional varietal definition of pear and spicy baked apple. There is great balance to the palate, which is light in weight and finishes on a pleasing soft and gentle note.
Cellaring Notes
This wine should be enjoyed whilst young and fresh but will cellar well in the short term (1 – 3 years) under ideal conditions.

Pinot Gris/ Pinot Grigio
Lean, grassy wine more in a grigio style, with a lifted floral bouquet and a light, crisp, lemony palate.A Family Affair
Wakefield Estate Pinot Gris 2008B Magazine, April 2009
A Family Affair
Fruit is sourced from the cool reaches of the Adelaide Hills as well as the family's natural home of the Clare. Distinctive nashi pear combines with aromas of apple crumble on the nose, while the palate is light and fresh with just enough texture to keep it interesting.Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio Wine Tasting Review
