Ronin 2023

Pinot Gris from the stunning Pooks Hills, in Hahndorf, Adelaide Hills. Organically farmed for more than 12 years. We implemented a smoother pruning to allow a better fruit set through an easier sap flow.

The hill soil is composed of clay over Schist slate and vines facing South West for an optimum sun exposure & air flow.

The Pinot Gris is hand-picked & carbonically macerated for a week, then foot-stomped to start a proper infusion of skin & stems in the grape juice. This is left to infuse for three months in a stainless-steel tank.

Pressed on the last warm day at the end of May, the Ronin is then gravity racked into old French barriques for a 8 months elevage.

Bottled on site in our Basket Range winery without fining nor filtration.
