Product Description

Winery Background
The Sheep Shape collection from De Bortoli celebrates the fun and approachable side of wine, while still delivering quality and character. Crafted in the heart of the Riverina, this range reflects the region’s warm days, cool nights, and fertile soils—perfect for producing aromatic, vibrant white wines.

Vineyards and Production
Grapes for this Pinot Gris are harvested in the cool early hours to lock in freshness and delicate aromatics. They are gently pressed before undergoing a cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks, ensuring maximum preservation of natural fruit purity and crisp acidity.

Tasting Notes
Bright pale straw with green hues. The nose bursts with aromas of nashi pear, crisp apple, and citrus blossom. On the palate, it’s refreshing and fruit-forward, offering flavours of crunchy pear, lemon zest, and subtle white florals, balanced by a clean, mineral edge and a mouth-watering finish.

Food Pairing
Perfect alongside fresh seafood, grilled prawns, chicken salad, or a summer antipasto platter. Its lightness and crisp acidity make it a natural partner for warm-weather dining.

Story Behind the Wine
This 2024 Pinot Gris was crafted to embody the easy-going charm of the Riverina. Named “Sheep Shape” as a nod to the Australian expression meaning “in great condition,” it’s a wine made for relaxed enjoyment—bright, lively, and perfect for sharing with friends on sunny afternoons.
