[SOLD-OUT] Vino Intrepido Wolf in Sheep's Clothing Pinot Grigio 2021

NOT JUST YOUR AVERAGE PINOT GRIGIO!

"OK, I know what you’re thinking. “Another pinot grigio? Really? How many more do we need? They’re pretty much all the same anyway!” Whilst I don’t completely disagree with such sentiments, there are a few regions in Italy where they not only take this grape seriously, but they make some seriously incredible wines from it. My goal was to make something a bit more than your average pinot grigio white wine, and I hope I’ve achieved that.

For the third year in a row fruit came from the Mornington Peninsula, though this time from the 100 Hunts vineyard in Tuerong. Fruit was harvested overnight and after bringing it back to the winery it was immediately pressed. The juice was kept cool to help separate the solids, and subsequently racked to a mixture of 500L puncheons; two old and one new. Malolactic fermentation was allowed to complete in barrel, and the wine aged on lees for a further six months. The wine was blended and then bottled in October 2021.

In discussion with my wife Victoria about what I should call this addition to the Vino Intrepido range, we discussed the grey part of the variety’s name, and started thinking about grey animals. The wolf was one of the first that came to mind – majestic yet dangerous – and the term ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ stood out for me, as this pinot grigio is probably not what you’d expect, packing more punch than you might have become accustomed to." - Vino Intrepido
