2024 Quartz Reef Pinot Gris

Quartz Reef has been biodynamically farming its Bendigo vineyard for years, and that attention to detail shows clearly in this Pinot Gris. The fruit comes from their estate vines on north-facing slopes of glacial sand and schist, where warm days and cool nights build ripe flavours while keeping acidity tight.

The 2024 season was even and dry, allowing clean, gradual ripening. The fruit was hand-picked and fermented mainly in stainless steel, with a small portion in old oak for texture. It’s made in a dry style, keeping the focus on purity and freshness rather than sweetness or weight.

The wine is crisp and balanced, showing pear, apple and a hint of spice with a smooth, gently chalky finish. It’s a straight, well-made Pinot Gris and tip-top value.
