The dry warmth of daytime and the dusky chill of evening in Victoria’s alpine high country collide in spectacular fashion in this award-winning Pinot Gris. Crafted by winemaker Andy Browning at the biodynamically run Delatite Estate — helmed by founders Robert and Vivienne’s son David Ritchie — this 2020 vintage packs a pear-infused punch and knockout layers of apricot and apple.

Halliday Wine Companion

This is an exceptional gris, a harbinger of a style that is increasingly versatile at the table and reflective of this country's more sophisticated dining culture, both in the restaurant and at home. These mid-weighted highly textural wines are founded, too, in greater winemaking expertise: ambient yeast and neutral wood. After all, gris does not need too much embellishment, but the confidence to allow baked autumnal fruit notes to ease across a peddle of gentle phenolics. This does so in style. 2019 vintage.

THE MAKER

Delatite Estate

Hitting high notes in Victoria’s high country

Back in 1967, the Barossa Valley’s ‘Master Merlot Maker’ Jim Irvine and third-generation beef and lamb farmer Robert Ritchie headed off for a ski weekend on the powdery slopes of Mount Buller, a lofty peak rising from the ranks of the Victorian Alps. That trip lit a spark in Robert’s mind, and one year later, that spark grew into the first planted vineyard at Delatite Estate, situated near the foot of the mountain where it all began.

Now helmed by Robert and wife Vivienne’s son David, Delatite Estate farms their land according to biodynamic principles that support their mission to craft uniquely individual wines moulded by the whim of the land. Made by winemaker Andy Browning, these are small-batch, cool-climate visions that have garnered Delatite a slew of accolades.
