Polperro Chardonnay 2024 pwcnew almond and funky toast onWinemaker Sam Coverdale is making a statement about Pinot Gris with this wine. He, like so many in Mornington Peninsula (i. e. Kathleen Quealy, Barney Flanders and the like), believes that Pinot Gris can be truly great from this region and transcend the pigeon hole of being nothing but a fruit driven, dry white. His Pinot Gris is made more like a Chardonnay than a classic aromatic variety. It's whole bunch pressed to barrel with oxygen encouraged.
