Description
WINEMAKER: Xavier Goodridge
REGION: Gippsland, VIC
VARIETY: Pinot Gris
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable
Pinot Gris from Mount Gambier direct pressed for soft extraction of colour and phenolics. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to showcase the purity of fruit and left on lees for 5 months for a gentle yeasty complexity and texture. Made with varietal perfume and crisp texture in mind.
The colour has a golden hue with ever so light pink reflections. Beautifully expressive, full of orchard fruits, yellow pears and red apples, tangerine peel, honeyed blossoms and a hint of tropical fruits like pineapple skin. Then comes freshly baked brioche, that tasty leesy complexity. Flavours have a lovely ginger spice, a crunchy bite that makes your mouth water and a dust of cinnamon to top things off. A true, expressive and textural Gris with a great refreshment factor.
Xavier Goodridge crafts idiosyncratic expressions of Pinot Noir born on his organically farmed vineyard in Gippsland’s Maffra, the Gunaikurnai Country. In collaboration with exceptional growers from Mount Gambier and Henty, he sources the highest quality grapes for his Papa range. With the light touch in the winery, Xavier lets the wines speak of the land.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
