“Canberra is an exciting region at the moment. and there are many new players hitting unthinkable heights of quality. Winemaker Nick Spencer has demonstrated “ across a whole range of styles and prices “ that Eden Road Wines is a force to be reckoned with. “ Nick Stock, The Age/SMH Good Wine Guide.
The Eden Road wines all derive primarily from the ACT/NSW “High Country” regions of Canberra District, Hilltops, Gundagai and Tumbarumba. Eden Road is supposed to suggest an ideal (as in the Garden of Eden), not a place.
The fruit for this Pinot Gris is grown on a vineyard just north of the Murrumbateman Village. The vineyard lies at an altitude of 630 metres above sea level on an ancient de composed granite belt, running along both sides of the Barton Highway. This is an excellent site for achieving ripe Pinot Gris with balanced acid. We believe the 2016 Pinot Gris is a wine suited to many occasions one that will happily sit amongst friends in the sun and enjoyed with a vast array of food. From the winery: “Pinot gris is a white wine grape variety with rose coloured skins and is typically made into a white wine. We allow a small amount of skin contact to encourage some colour but more importantly some texture from phenolics in our pinot gris. The result is a lovely blush coloured, textural, and crunchy pinot gris. The wine shows strawberry shortcake and nashi pear aromas and has a delicate and refreshing palate.” Absolutely delicious!
