Henschke Innes Vineyard Pinot Gris 2024

From a vineyard at Littlehampton (sounds like something from ‘Father Brown’) in the Adelaide Hills, fermentation was in stainless steel, with the following six months on lees. This wine reflects the immense quality of the 2024 vintage. The colour is a pale and yet shimmering yellow/silver. Gorgeous pear and apple aromatics leave one in no doubt as to its varietal identity. We also have appealing notes of florals, citrus and spices, with a line of citrussy acidity. There is focus, energy and balance, with exceptional length. As far as Pinot Gris goes, this one is a cut above. Four to six years.
