2024 Moorooduc Estate Pinot Gris

Palest gold in colour with a savoury nose – green pears, Granny Smith apple skin, cream cheese and wholegrain crackers with a hint of leatherwood honey. On the palate the wine has umami savouriness – hints of vegemite and butter on a wholegrain cracker give way to subtle crunchy green pear fruit and a hint of flint, lanolin and beeswax. Medium bodied with a silky texture, firm slightly bitter phenolics and just enough acid to keep it fresh and bright. Enjoy young with a nicely aged washed rind cheese, or a slow roasted whole pumpkin stuffed with breadcrumbs, gruyere, sage, cream and nutmeg.
