Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Pinot Gris is a poised white wine that captures Pinot Gris character, with citrus and orchard fruit, lifted aromatics and a clean, mineral-tinged finish.

To keep the profile vivid and precise, the wine is typically fermented cool in stainless steel, then rested on lees for gentle mid-palate weight without losing clarity.

Sustainability is approached through responsible vineyard work and thoughtful sourcing, aiming for healthier soils and balanced fruit so the wine can be made with minimal corrective intervention.

Made by a quality-focused team, the wine reflects a commitment to thoughtful viticulture and measured maturation, with an emphasis on sense of place over heavy-handed winemaking. The story here is guided by the people at the helm, prioritising consistency, integrity and a clear expression of fruit and site.
