Snake + Herring Bizarre Love Triangle Pinot Gris 2024 12% 750ML

TASTING NOTES

AROMA:
The 2024 Bizarre Love Triangle is a Pinot Gris first and foremost: nashi and beurre bosc pears, subtle white flowers and regional minerality.

PALATE:
The palate is tight and powerful with fleshy fruit balanced by subtle floral grip and bright citrus acidity on the finish.

REGION NOTES:
We have sourced the Pinot Gris and Riesling from Mount Barker and Pinot Gris from the Frankland River region in the Great Southern, the more northern aspect and continentality being perfect for these Alsatian varieties. Pinot Gris has a great texture with pearskin, minerally slate and oyster shell notes. Riesling adds a fine thread of citrus and acidity.

WINEMAKERS COMMENTS:
The Bizarre Love Triangle is a blend based on the Gentil aromatic blends of Alsace in France. These are aromatic, spicy textural wines, slippery and slatey, great chilled for warm weather and approachable as young wines.

VINIFICATION:
All components were pressed individually and pressings fractions separated. We barrel fermented all pressings fractions as well as the Pinot Gris free run in old 500L puncheons to add texture and volume. The free run components were fermented in tank. After 4 months on lees in both tank and barrel, the various components were reassembled.

GRAPE VARIETY:
96% Pinot Gris, 4% Riesling
