HADDOW + DINEEN GRAIN OF TRUTH PINOT GRIS 2023 - white

Style : Spicy & BrightThis is a collaborative winemaking project involving winemaker Jeremy Dineen and cheesemaker Nick Haddow. Jeremy was chief winemaker at Josef Chromy from 05–20, his knowledge and skill self-evident. Nick Haddow is a cheesemaker and author with a string of awards to his name, but is perhaps best known now for his culinary crusading on SBS Gourmet Farmer. Haddow + Dineen sources from their vineyard at the mouth of the Tamar River on white quartz gravel, and another it leases in the Coal River Valley. Haddow + Dineen wines have no additions other than a small amount of SO₂, and are not fined or filtered. Tastings are available at the Bruny Island Cheese Co. cellar door. JAMES HALLIDAYPinot Gris sourced from the Yorktown vineyard in the Upper Tamar, whole bunch pressed, wild yeast, barrel fermented, unfined and unfiltered. Light straw. Smells European does this. Poached pears, grilled peach, citrus fruits, honeysuckle, crushed stone, meadow flowers, some distant mealy aspects and clotted cream notes. Rich, yet shows clarity and a lively, briny line, a slinky textural sashay across the palate and hard not to have another glass. Suggested listening: Mark Lanegan – Tiny Grains of Truth.
