Rowlee Estate Pinot Gris 2026 | Orange NSW
2026
Mid lemon yellow with bronze golden hue. Pears, ripe apple, and ruby grapefruit sit across subtle rose petal floral aromatics. The nose is abundant and expressive with clear cool climate Pinot Gris focus. Hints of ginger and lemon verbena add aromatic complexity. The entry is silky and plush with ripe pear and apple carrying over from the aromatic profile. With a little time, the flavour builds with spicy citrus on mineral talc and supple apple sorbet. The phenolics are gentle yet assertive enough to give a dry and textured finish. Long, juicy, and flavoursome.
Made from grapes grown at the Rowlee vineyard, situated 950 metres above sea level, on well drained, mineral rich deep clay loam, red and brown, derived from basalt. The fruit was handpicked and delivered to the winery where it was whole bunch pressed with the pressings kept separately. Racked the following day with clean juice placed in tank. Lightly fined and filtered prior to bottling.
