## Wine making process

The Hope Pinot Grigio 2022 is produced from 100% Pinot Grigio grapes. The grapes are harvested at full maturity from the Murray Darling region. Winemaking typically involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks under controlled cool temperatures to preserve the grape's aromatic qualities and freshness. The wine is then aged in stainless steel, with no significant oak influence, to maintain its vibrant fruit character. This process aims to create a clean, refreshing, and fruit-expressive white wine.
