Description:
Redbank’s badge, the Anvil, is a symbol of times gone by when the early settlers handcrafted their farming implements with the heat of the blazing forge and the strength of the anvil. This strength was apparent in the hard working migrants who established a thriving farming community in the rugged High Country of North East Victoria. Today a small, select 'family' of growers, some direct descendents of the original pioneers, produce premium fruit for the wines of Redbank. Vineyards that are lashed by blizzardly cold winter winds and buried in snow for part of the year emerge at harvest with grapes of the highest quality that enable the Redbank winemakers to produce superb cool climate wines. Fruit for the King Valley wines is harvested from vineyards which sit at nearly 800 metres above sea-level, covered in snow in winter and shrouded in cloud. The fruit was 100% hand picked and chilled, which minimised any unwanted colour or phenolics. Very gentle whole bunch pressing captured the delicate aromatics of the Pinot Gris. The juice was 70% cool fermented in stainless steel and 30% barrel fermented with some barrels undergoing malolactic fermentation for added complexity. The Sunday Morning Pinot Gris has a lifted delicate nose redolent with ripe pear, rose petals and spice. The palate is finely balanced with florals, clove spice and pear fruit, finishing with mouthwatering acidity and typical Pinot Gris texture. These King Valley wines were inspired by the history of Victoria. Long ago it was littered with long abandoned miners camps and long forgotten mine shafts that gave little to the battling prospector of the 1850s gold rush. During the same time notorious bushrangers roamed the high country of North East Victoria robbing the gold and mail coaches and stealing the valuable livestock of wealthy land owners. None was more famous than the legendary Ned Kelly. To some, Ned and his gang were folk heroes as their lightning hit and run skirmishes with the law, brilliant horsemanship and knowledge of the rugged bush continually frustrated the police and local authorities.

RedbankSUNDAYMORNINGPinot Gris KingValley Victoria Australia
Description: The rich history of Australia's gold mining era has inspired pioneering winemaker, Neill Robb, to create a collection of hand crafted individual wines from the quality wine growing regions of King and Yarra Valley, Victoria. Medium straw in colour, the nose offers honey, peach stone and mineral aromas with whiffs of gunsmoke and flint. This is a full-bodied wine showing balance between acid and fruit, a rounded mid-palate and a seductive stoney/apricot texture, finishing dry with long mineral and honey characters. The grapes are sourced from Cavedon's vineyard high in the KingValley of North-Eastern Victoria, where the cold nights, red volcanic soils and eastern aspect help ripening and retain fresh acidities. This classic Pinot Gris will complement many food styles such as antipasta and marinated octopus. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £61.25
