Heifer Station vineyard is situated between 860-900m elevation on the undulating slopes of Mt Canobolas. Planted in 2005 using FVD1V7 Clone on an easterly aspect to maximise the morning sun exposure.

Single Vineyard

5h/a under vine over two plantings. (2.8 & 2.2 h/a) 

Tasting note:

2023 was an ideal vintage for early ripening white varietals like Pinot Gris. Plenty of subsoil moisture and mild days delivered a wine with an intense fruit profile. The nose is abundant with Bartlett pear and red apple skin. Some subtle rose petal perfume adds aromatic depth. Yellow cherry and a hint of cinnamon spice round out the extraordinary aromatics. A gentle entry with ripe pear carrying through to a core of stonefruit. The texture is plush and supple and a silky tannin line is all wrapped up in perfectly tensioned acidity.

Whole bunch-pressed fruit is cold-soaked prior to racking. Fermented with cloudy juice with extended lees maturation.
