Description

Jones Road Pinot Gris 2017

Attractively very pale straw in colour, clear and bright. Aromas of pears, nectarine along with floral tones and hints of yeasty bread notes. On the palate it is clean and fresh, with pears, spice and well balanced with clean green apple acid at the back. The palate is multilayered and leads to clean lingering finish.

Jones Road Wines

The dream turned to anguish and the worry turned to joy. The journey of establishing Jones Road has been a trauma and a delight. Always the same goal and focus on producing something fantastic. The rewards for many years in the business has bought knowledge, friendships, excitement and eternal optimism of one producing wines with world-wide recognition but more importantly self satisfaction and belief that our wines are appreciated by many people.

With every vintage our wines are improving and every vintage our knowledge and understanding of our vineyards, the terroir and the winemaking techniques and requirement best suited to our grapes is increasing. I am very happy with the way the Jones Road wines are progressively attaining recognition and look forward to the next vintage. The future is looking very exciting at Jones Road.

The Frewer family established Jones Road vineyard in 1997 at Somerville on the Mornington Peninsula overlooking Westernport Bay. The maritime climate of this region produces some of Australia’s best cool climate wines because of the late ripening, the fertile soil and careful vineyard management.

Since those early days we have secured lease on 2 other vineyards here on the Peninsula. One on the Port Phillip side, close to the water and the other at Balnarring near the Westernport Bay. This has increased our vineyards to 60 acres. With these extra parcels of fruit it gives the winemakers an opportunity to blend from the different sites, mixing different terroirs.

Matt, the vineyard manager has gained recognition for his attention to detail and care of the vines. This has lead to other vineyards requesting his advice and operational skills. He is now caring for another six vineyards on the Peninsula.
