Seven Months is a skinsy, textural blend of Pinot Gris (80%), Gewürztraminer (10%) and Riesling (10%). The fruit is mainly sourced from 25-year-old vines on granite soils at 650 metres. Picked by hand in mid-March, the parcels fermented on skins in 1250-litre Italian concrete vessels and 750-litre ceramic amphora. Once the ferment begins, each vessel is plunged by hand once a day until the ferment reaches its peak, at which point the vessels are sealed. Once fermentation is complete, the vessels are topped, resealed and left alone for seven months. The wine is then pressed off skins, returned to vessel and left for four months. Finally, the wines are stirred and sent to one-year-old, 30-hectolitre Stockinger barrels for 12 months before release.

Reviews

“A bright orange colour in the glass. Inviting. It does good chalky pucker and chomp with refreshing undertows of saline acidity. Amongst that, mandarin, dried citrus peel, pear, dried and fresh, lime and faint lychee. Yes, a fruitiness, prettiness even, but it works in tandem with more nutty savoury notes and the general tang of herbs and skin ferment zing. Attractive drinking in its genre.”
93 points, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
