“The V23 Ego is a blend of wines that have gone into two separate concrete fermentation eggs, one an earlier pick with a finer palate and the other later and broader. Full and rich with fruit purity on the nose and a waxy, honeycomb palate. Finishes like pear drops and a lick of cinnamon stick. A big, multi-layered mouthful of wine that is lush but not sweet. Ego may indeed be the enemy, but it’s hard not to feel a pang of gentle pride when the result is quite this lovely. 100% Pinot Gris from the Scary Gully vineyard, Pressed direct to tank on full solids. 100% fermentation in concrete ‘egg’ for nine months.
