Stoney Rise No Clothes, No So2 Pinot Gris Friulano 2023

 

Lutruwita Country

The wine sees around three weeks on skins before being pressed off. Orange wine magic. The friulano does floral, rose water and lychee elements, the gris is tart, botanical and Campari-like with green pear and gentle cashew notes alongside. Highly perfumed, refreshing to drink with a sense of savouriness underlying. This is a really cool expression, super different for Australian skin fermented whites, but manages to feel a little like an homage to Friuli (Italy) in its way. Should mature well too, but drink with gusto now.
