La Petite Mort Pinot Gris 2021
About the wine
Generous Alsace-style Pinot Gris
- Get ready for a Pinot Gris with a big personality! The fruit hails from central Ballandean, a region renowned for its ripe and flavoursome grapes.
- 6-hours skin contact has given this wine a fantastic texture in the mouth and enticing copper blush, just like Pinot Gris wines from the Alsace region of France.
- It has a confectionary scent, peppered with hints of ripe pear that carry through to the palate. More spice and pepper characters and a little skin contact ‘grip’ make this a great partner to rich food.
Best before
This wine is ready to drink now. However, considering its slight astringency, & bold aromas & flavours, elements of longevity, this wine could possibly benefit with ageing for up to 7 years.
Serving advice
Drink straight out of the fridge for a refreshing aperitif. All the wine to warm up to release & intensify aromas & flavours when accompanying with richly flavoured foods.
Food match
Spicy vegetarian or spicy seafood goes perfectly with the rich flavours & textural characteristics of this wine.
Contains sulphites

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Glen Robert & Andrew Scott
- Expected the unexpected from this creative Queensland pair! When Glen and Andrew stumbled upon Shiraz and Viognier vines in need of a little TLC in 2014, they knew they had found the perfect place to begin their La Petite Mort journey.
- Thanks to Angel support, Glen (former research scientist) and Andrew (hospitality guru) have been able to re-vitalise a historic, cool-climate vineyard in the Granite Belt, flexing their sustainable winemaking skills with slow-ripening, hand-picked fruit that packs a flavourful punch!
- From fermenting in terracotta amphora to partially drying grapes, the innovative techniques behind the hidden gems in the La Petite Mort range represent the idea of letting go of restraints and revelling in something new… like Glen and Andrew’s truly artisan wines!
