2024 Oakdene Ly Ly Pinot Gris

Appearance
Pale green straw.

Bouquet
Lifted aromas of apple blossom, green pear and a touch of ginger spice.

Palate
Crisp pear driving the palate, crisp and juicy, with bitter almond, spiced ginger apple notes, French oak adding texture palate shape. Finishing with lively acidity, and a balanced finish.

Fermentation
Pinot Gris was crushed and run to barrel and inoculated with yeast, fermentation then took place over 10 days. The yeast lees were stirred regularly over the next 8 months while maturing in French oak barriques (15% new), prior to bottling in November 2024.

Conclusion
Enjoy now, or cellar for the next 4 years.

RATINGS & REVIEWS

96 Points & Special Value Red Star, Phillip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion - 'Barrel fermented and matured in barriques (15% new). A bright green gold. Ripe, even luscious smelling with its bouquet of white peach, fresh guava, quince and a little basil and lemongrass. Excellent mouthfeel and overall balance, with tangy acidity on the long finish. I can see this ageing gracefully over the next 3–4 years'.
