Tasting Notes

On the nose our Gris et al leads with fresh peeled mandarin and orange peel, watermelon and musk florals. The palate glides with soft fruit and light phenolics propping the palate evenly. There’s plenty of orchard fruits – across the spectrum (pear, red apple etc), some skin contact, all leading to a long tangy finish

Producer Profile

As a keen cyclist all his life, Matt’s love affair with the bike matches his passion for making wine from exceptional sites across the Yarra Valley and elevated, alpine climbs of the Whitlands High Plateau. Rouleur (noun – Roller) was inspired by vineyards Matt discovered while riding – chance meetings with growers and local people that helped turn dreams into reality.

Viticulture

95% Pinot Gris from the Whitlands High Plateau. There’s 3% Chardonnay from the same vineyard, but only 2% Gewurztraminer from a block situated at the base of the mountain just outside of Whitfield township. In cooler years Matt tends to seek a little more Gewurztraminer (up to 8%) to help with aromatics, mouthfeel and general ‘flow’ of the wine. But this was such a great vintage for this Alpine vineyard that just a tiny amount added value. And Pinot Gris was certainly the star variety in the blend, hence wanting it to shine above all else.

Winemaking

Similarly made to prior vintages, 50% of the Gris was destemmed and fermented on skins for 11 days, whilst the remaining 40% as whole bunch pressed, full solids direct to neutral barrel and fermented (wild) until dry. The harder squeezed fruit was run to tank, cold settled for a day or so before racking to barrel for fermentation

Goes well with

Pinot Gris et al. pairs best with textured, flavourful dishes, including baked fish with citrus, roasted pork, chicken dishes, and tangy, creamy, or slightly spiced foods

Cellaring

Drink over the net 2-3 years.
