Pinot Gris Sauvignon Blanc Adelaide Hills & Eden South Australia
An exciting cepage of Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc, exhibiting lovely spiced fruit characters and crunchy expressions of the orchard that are so titillating, your friends will be in fine spirits even before lunch arrives! You'll find each drop just perfect for refreshing every palate just in time for the next sip.
A mostly Pinot Gris wine with a smaller proportion of Sauvignon Blanc, harvested from choice vines on the Adelaide Hills and Eden Valley, planted to grey and brown loam sands, trained to vertical shoot positioning. Adding to the character of each site are the personalities who actually care for the grapes, the team of dedicated and passionate local growers, who work tirelessly throughout the year to produce the exceptional fruit which is the life blood of Kellermeister. Vines are encouraged to achieve good flowering and fruit set, ultimately yielding small berries with very good flavour concentration. Steady ripening consummates the perfect balance of sugars and refreshing natural acidity to rein in the fruit.
Brilliant straw in colour. Elegant crunchy pear flavours supported by tropical fruit characters of lychee, guava and passionfruit. A delightfully refreshing experience, finishing as crisp as a clear spring morning. Perfect to savour every drop with or without food.

Since returning from the Hunter Valley, Trevor has been successful in numerous wine shows, most notably the 1993 Barossa Valley Wine Show, where he was awarded three trophies, among which was the highly coveted Most Outstanding Barossa / Eden Valley Dry Red for his 1990 Cabernet Merlot. In 1994 he was equally successful, being awarded the trophy for Best Wine Small Producer (crushing less than 500 tonnes of grapes) for his 1994 Chardonnay.

Some of Trevor's most notable accolades have come from Robert Parker, who awarded Jones two perfect 100 point scores (the first time ever assigned by The Wine Advocate) for the Old Barossa Tokay and the Barossa Liqueur Shiraz Tawny. These awards were recently followed by Best Boutique Riesling for the 1998 Eden Valley Riesling, awarded by Boutique Wines of Australia 2000. Well done Trevor!
