Good rainfall was recorded during July & August which replenished the sub-surface soil moisture. This proved invaluable as spring and summer were on the dry side. Rainfall late in December and again in late January was vital to refreshing the vines during the growing season and leading into harvest. Following near perfect ripening weather, the Pinot Grigio grapes were harvested in late January through to the middle of March.

The fruit for the Y Series Pinot Grigio is sourced from premium viticultural regions of South Australia. Careful hand-picking allowed the grapes to be picked at optimal ripeness.  Whole bunch pressing was used to minimise color and tannin extraction from the pink skins, followed by oxidative handling to naturally remove any remaining colour. Fermentation proceeded on full solids, utilising yeast indigenous to the vineyard. The wines were then left on their lees until blending, giving the final wine complexity and finesse.
