La Prova is a grand experiment that brings together traditional Italian varieties and ancient Australian soils. The pairing creates wines that are ready for the future from grapes that use less water and withstand warming conditions. Each of La Provas grape varieties (weve trialled sixteen so far) are grown in the place that suits them best sustainably produced in the Adelaide Hills and beyond.Pinot Grigio likes to throw a decent crop so shoot and bunch thinning are necessary to give us the right balance on the vine.The grapes are handpicked, chilled overnight in a large cool room and then whole bunch pressed the following day. This is to get the most pristine free-run juice possible, with no phenolics.After we have gone to all those careful lengths we take the gloves off, allow the juice to oxidize and then grab some fluffy lees into the ferment. This is where we get the savoury note to the bright, vibrant wine. Bottled in May 2021.
