The majority of fruit for Lino Ramble is sourced locally in McLaren Vale. There’s exceptions to every rule and the Pinot Grigio is one of them. The variety loves a cooler climate and MV cant deliver that however the south east of Australia certainly can!
We picked a fantastic first vintage to source fruit from Wrattonbully in 2024. Cool, mild daytime temperatures particularly from veraison to harvest and minimal disease pressure have resulted in ideallic conditions for producing high quality white wines

The time from harvest to pressing off skins is only a handful of hours. Grapes were gently pressed to minimize colour and phenolic extraction from the bronze (Grigio) skins. No acid addition was required. Cool fermentation temperature in stainless steel is maintained from go to wow to retain vibrancy and crisp aromatics. Bottled early, in May 2024 to retain fresh varietal character.
