This year's Cloudwalker sees a more delicate extraction than typical, making it more flexible interms of end use and food matching. Again its a single vineyard expression looking into the stony, sandy, windswept fringes of the Dry River southwest of town.The Pinot Gris brings colour, spice and stone fruit dimensions, modest levels of Riesling engage further spice and citrus lift. Beyond this a subtle gift of Pinot rose smooths the complexion ever so slightly. This is a wine to enjoy immediately or sometime inthe next 5-6 years. Lean toward aromatic curries, brown butter, nuts and mandarin, green peppercorn, white fish & caper's, that kind of direction for food matches.
