Redhouse Pinot Grigio 'Altier' 2010

Producer: Redhouse
Grape: Pinot Grigio
Region: South Australia
Zone: Lenswood, Adelaide Hills

Redhouse came about from a bunch of us just wanting to make a wine that reflects a wine style that we love drinking time and time again; one where Australian generosity meets European savoury without the clutter of overt oak!

Redhouse Altier 2010 release is a gorgeous white from the cool Adelaide Hills,  from the same Lenswood vineyard as 2009, and showing that this is serious territory for this classic and delicious grape variety.
 
You will clearly see the similarities, with this new one having the same creamy, cereal, banana, melon and honey characters as the 2009, with even more touches of this ‘Hills vineyard’s higher-altitude altitude qualities of crisp minerality. This one is a touch drier and perhaps just a little juicier, more expressive and fruity at the same stage. 2010 is just genuinely regarded as a truly great vintage.
