Log in / Sign up Henschke Innes Vineyard Pinot Gris 2023
The Adelaide Hills has an altitude ranging from 400-600m and rainfall of around 700-1000mm. The soils of sandy loam overlying weathered shale and clay provide excellent conditions for viticulture, which was first established in the Adelaide Hills in 1839 by John Barton Hack near Mount Barker. Littlehampton lies on the eastern side of the Adelaide Hills, just 5km from Mount Barker, and has a unique aspect for superlative pinot gris. This wine is named as a tribute to the Innes family, dedicated growers of the Innes Vineyard Pinot Gris for over 25 years. Pinot gris, called tokay d’Alsace in France, grauburgunder in Germany and pinot grigio in Italy, has its origins in France and has become a highly regarded variety around the world.
Grilled Prawns with Oregano and Lime
Pale straw in colour. Aromas of fresh-cut pear and guava, with bursts of white florals, almond blossom, passionfruit flower and ginger.
The palate is rich and bright with white nectarine, pear and passionfruit, beautifully balanced by hints of clover honey and juicy apple-like acidity for a textured, crisp finish.
