2022 Run Free by Singlefile Pinot Grigio

VINEYARD & WINEMAKING

The 2022 growing season in the Great Southern saw plenty of rainfall and mild weather which encouraged good ripening conditions for cool climate pinot grigio. Cooler growing conditions allowed for the strong varietal characteristics we come to expect of pinot grigio to shine through.

This pinot grigio was picked just after dawn on the mornings of the 2nd and 3rd of March. The fruit was brought to the winery and gently destemmed and pressed, the juice transferred directly into stainless steel tanks and temperature controlled to ensure a slow fermentation process. After the fermentation the wine was racked off the fermentation lees and left to settle until late June, and bottled early to retain all the delicate aromatics.

THE WINE

There is a lovely delicacy to the aromatics in this pinot grigio. They display a lifted bouquet of green nashi pear and citrus with an underlay of floral notes. The palate has some subtle weight while still maintaining freshness. An easy drinking style with a clean and flavoursome finish.

This wine is definitely a crowd pleaser. Light and fresh, this would be perfect for summer afternoons eating alfresco. Pale gold in colour Beautiful nose of red apples and melon backed up by a nutty almond note. Slight wet stone minerality gives some complexity. The fresh palate is light with those tree fruits to the front. Good amount of acidity but not overbearing. A very nice easy drinking wine. Matched with a nice piece of fish it would be amazing

A nice fresh but a slight dryness to this delightful white. Pinot Gris is my favourite but this is a close second. We enjoyed it with a nibbles platter of cheese, onions, salami & olives. Would go nice with a dish of chicken or fish too. A real winner

They say addicts spend their lives trying to re-create that original hit that got them into all their trouble. For me it’s pinot grigio. I had my first hit of it in Tasmania oh, long ago, and it was a real wow moment. Little bundles of flavour ricocheted around my mouth with energy that was way of kilter with Tasmania. I’ve been searching for that moment ever since and with the Run Free Pinot Grigio… wham, it’s ba-ack. You’re not so much hit by the fruit as by the whole damn orchard. It puts every taste bud you have into overdrive. And it doesn’t let up. Even by, the end of the second glass, as you roll it around your mouth and open the back of your throat to spread those precious vapours up around your nose it’s a big holy moly experience. This is not a wine for long lunches but if you can smell the sea, hear the waves and have a big feed of fish and chips in front of you this is as good as it gets.

What a lovely and refreshing wine! The wine was crisp and paired beautifully with some cheese and crackers! This wine would be lovely in summer shared with friends.

I thought this was surprisingly well balanced. Viscous and ripe it has a amazing presence of flavour, easily drinkable!

My impression is perhaps coloured by drinking the outstanding family reserve chardonnay two days before. This said, this was a very good pairing with a seafood pasta lunch. The wine is straw coloured, has a fruity bouquet , giving way to a light, refreshing accompaniment to lunch.

It’s fresh, it’s crisp. Apple but more peartastic for mine. First glass went down easy, second went down fast

Normally a red wine drinker I was pleasantly surprised by this drop. Look, Light fresh and clean, Smell Fresh Citrus with a light herbaceous hint, slight cut grass. Very refreshing to drink, easy drinking Summer white. Enjoyed the paired play list as well. Great idea!
