The 2009 – 2010 growing season saw one of the earliest seasons to date. Timely rainfall received during early summer gave the vineyards some relief from a dry winter and  spring. Conditions for ripening of Pinot Grigio were close to ideal with warm days and cool nights. Fruit was picked once optimal flavours were achieved.

Fruit was hand harvested and whole bunch pressed to retain varietal character and freshness and to avoid any pink colour pickup. Winemaking techniques included warmer fermentation with fine solids to improve texture and softness while preserving varietal expression. The wine is given extended time on yeast lees to give complexity to the natural fruit flavours

Pinot Grigio is the Italian name for the variety known as Pinot Gris in France. In France it is grown in Burgundy and particularly in Alsace where it produces richly flavoured, dry wines. Although French in origin it is more widely planted in Germany, where it is known as Rulander, and Italy where it is grown in the north-east regions of Friuli, Alto Adige and Veneto, and as far south as Emilia-Romagna. The Brown Family was one of the first Australian wine producers to embrace the variety.
