Winemaker Tim Smith

Pinot Grigio is the Italian name for the variety known as Pinot Gris in France. This wine is a cool climate example from Eden Valley where the clean natural acidity has been naturally preserved to give the wine a delicacy and freshness typical of some northern Italian Pinot Grigio’s.

Aroma It is a beautiful bright wine with aromas of green apple, nashi pear and a hint of spice on the
nose

Palate It has zesty citrus and stone fruit flavours with a touch of minerality on the finish

Food Match Light seafood dishes, creamy pasta or chargrilled pesto style chicken

Heritage Château Tanunda was established in 1890 and is a heritage icon of Australia’s wine industry. This grand building, its magnificent gardens and vineyards are owned by the Geber family who continue the century old tradition of fine winemaking.

Philosophy The Barossa Tower range offers excellent clean, fruit driven, affordable wines. Perfect for every day consumption.

Winemaking Picked early in the morning, the fruit was delivered cool to the winery. Gentle pressing to
minimise phenolics and cold settling preceded a long, cool fermentation averaging 14°C.
The fermentation was left to run its course over 14 days leaving a naturally clean, crisp
vibrant wine.
