Pinot Gris – Folly Block – 2023 – Box of 6

Description

Rich red soils of the Folly Block sit above ancient dolerite lava where the trellising is bolted to the solid rock, built like no other. As our vines mature and their roots grow deeper into the earth, the rich mineral soils impart character to our wine that few have been lucky enough to find. A folly to be sure.

Featuring fragrant floral and fruit aromas with a lingering mineral palate and a satisfyingly dry finish. All single origin. All hand picked.

SILVER – 93 POINTS

“A delicious, pithy little pinot gris, a first release for this nascent wine label, from the estate’s Folly Block in the Tamar Valley. Notes of crunchy nashi pear, grapefruit and lemon with hints of crushed stone, distant dried herbs and lemongrass, sea spray and some gentle soft spice and créme fraîche tones. There is a driving minerality and a real sense of clarity to the wine’s travel here. It’s a cracker.” Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
