Part of the Hill-Smith Family Estate Vineyards and labels. The original Parish vineyard now has some other land holdings in the stable. This plot comes from Evandale, a tiny hamlet on the outskirts of Launceston, Tasmania and pretty much at the base of the regions around the town (Tamar and Pipers). Winemaker is Louisa Rose.

Parish Vineyards, Pinot Gris, Evandale, Tasmania 2024

Perfumed and floral, honeysuckl;e, gardenia, pear drops, raw sugar, green melon rind, hints of musk, rocket/arugula pepper and dried taco seasoning mix spices. The palate incredibly tight and refined, yet offering just enough varietal width. Pear and preserved lime mix with a melon/lychee nuance and studded with piquant spice. Delicate and etched through the long, dry tail.
