Summary: Yellowbox thoughtfully captures the Australian way of life. A little patch of sunshine reflecting the modern, warm, casual drinks and dining occasions. A hand-crafted range of wines from varieties best suited to display vibrant fruit flavours whilst being proudly lighter in alcohol. These are perfect for a glass on their own or will partner with many richer and lighter cuisines.
Winemaking: Harvested in the cool of the morning to avoid the warmer temperatures of the day. The fruit is quickly delivered to the winery for destemming and crushing prior to a regular fermentation in stainless steel tank. A small component of the blend is cool distilled whilst another undergoes gentle cool temperature / high pressure filtration process. The two parcels are then skilfully blended back to the original base wine to deliver freshness and vibrancy at only half the ABV of traditional wines.
Vintage 2023: The winter and spring prior to the 2023 vintage was generally a little wetter and cooler than what is usual, delaying the start of vintage and meaning some extra care was required through the growing period. Whilst the vintage was indeed later than usual, there were some really beautiful parcels of fruit that benefited from being grown in sites where the slower ripening simply enabled flavour ripeness to be achieved with character & balance.
Tasting Note: Subtle aromatics of pear, white florals and white pepper spice. The palate is alive and fresh with pear, green apple and lemon citrus driven long by refreshing acidity and subtle fruitiness. Classic Pinot Grigio flavours and will partner many fresh cuisines.
