"The 2019 Taturry 'Applewood Vineyard' Pinot Gris has a vibrant pale straw colour with platinum hues. The nose has an attractive hint of struck complexed by floral notes of frangipane, honeysuckle and then pear and classic white peach. The palate is fine, complex and structured with superb texture and natural acidity driving the finish on. This is a superb wine...!" - Andrew Guard

Luke started working on the Mornington Peninsula in 1999 first among the vines and then, after a wine science degree, he became a winemaker at Red Hill Estate. Since starting out on his own recently, he farms the 4.5 hectare Mosselini Vineyard in Merricks North which is nearly 20 years old and is planted to Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. In the past few years he has been farming the 2 ha Applewood vineyard out at Main Ridge too.
