The first impression is an inviting aroma of honeysuckle blossom, followed by toast and honey. When you take a sip, you immediately notice the beautifully round and generous texture with juicy melon and peach fruit character. Then come delicate, creamy oak and complex nuances of flowers and spices. All the flavours are kept fresh, precise and balanced by beautifully crisp acidity so it is rich but never heavy. Marvellous! If you ever have the chance to taste a white Burgundy made from Pinot Beurrot (not very likely, as they’re extremely rare), it will have been made from Pinot Gris. Kooyong’s Pinot Gris is named after this endangered species, and is very similar in style. This is irresistibly delicious now, but if you have superhuman self-control, it will drink well for at least another 2-3 years.

Common questions
How long does white wine keep after opening?
Recorked and refrigerated, most still white wines stay fresh for a few days. Sweet and fortified wines usually keep longer.
How cold should white wine be?
Crisp, light whites at about 7 to 10°C and fuller, oaked whites at about 10 to 13°C. Very cold wine hides its aroma and flavour.
