Wine Master Class: Pinot Gris

2.30-5.00pm, Sat 28 August 2010; $75

This final master class will take a slightly different direction and look at the white grape variety, Pinot Gris. Pinot Gris is an emerging variety in Australia – but Lerida Estate has in its short history made some stunning wines from this variety – most notably a dessert style of this wine – Botrytis Pinot Gris. This class will focus on how the different styles are made (Pinot Gris, Pinot Grigio and Botrytis Pinot Gris), and tasting examples of the different styles. Bookings: 6295 6640
