VINTAGE REPORT
The 2009 vintage started wet, but as the rain fell during the stage of ‘flowering’ the crops were lower throughout the
Nullo Mountain vineyard. The rain did stop, but when it stopped, it stopped completely which let the fruit ripen
steadily as there was no rain interrupting the process. The result of this dry finish to the season meant that harvest
was a littl e earlier than previous vintages and an increase in natural acidity in the berries.

WINEMAKING
The cool climate of Nullo Mountain provides the perfect atmosphere for pinot grigio grapes that result is a
refreshing, crisp and wine with great acidity and fruit flavours typical of the Italian style of this variety. The berries
were hand picked and sorted and crushed to release only the free run juice to extract the purity and delicacy of
these cool climate berries.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES
This cool climate pinot grigio is more typical of the Italian style with refreshing acidity and solid fruit characters of
fresh pear, green apple and melon flavours which continue on to the palate. This wine is best consumed within 2
years, however with careful cellaring will develop mature characteristics over time.
