The King Valley Wine Region has one of the greatest concentrations of varieties of any wine region in Australia, with a heavy Italian bias, reflecting our region’s history, With altitudes ranging between 155-860m the valley’s continental climate provides warm days and cool nights, influenced by the katabatic breeze that sweeps northward down the valley from the high country.
The fruit for the 2021 Copper Series Pinot Grigio was sourced from the revered Alpines of the King Valley. The fruit was machine harvested, de-juiced and filtered onsite at Gapsted Winery before being transported as filtered juice to the Hunter Valley.
The juice was then fermented in thermo controlled stainless steel vats at low temperatures to preserve and enhance the crisp aromatics Pinot Grigio has to offer. Post ferment the wine was chilled, stabilised and finned before filtration and bottling.
