Place
The Killerman’s Run range of wines are masterfully composed blends selected from across the finest vineyards and sub regions in the Clare Valley.
Vintage Conditions
The early flowering of 2024 was ideal for this cooler season as the fruit had additional time to full ripen in the mild summer. These cooler conditions slowed the ripening of the grapes, resulting in bright varietal flavours, crisp natural acidities, and lower sugar concentrations at picking than prior seasons.
Winemaking
Once harvested, the grapes were placed into the press where they were drained and gently pressed to tank for cold settling. The racked juice was cold fermented for three weeks to retain freshness and delicate aromatics. The finished wine was then stabilised and filtered to ensure clarity and longevity.

Tasting Notes
Back Vintage Tasting Notes-
Appearance
Pale straw with soft copper blush from the skins of the grapes.
-
Nose
Green apple skin and melon are layered over soft notes of pear flower blossom.
-
Palate
A classic dry style Pinot Gris rich in flavour of Nashi pear that is layered over a ripe white grapefruit. The rich flavours are balanced by a full palate that is driven by a firm core of fruit. A crisp yet mild apple like acidity structures the finish and lingers in a refreshingly tonic freshness.
I missed one of my favourites. Obviously so good it sold out! I find Pinot Gris has that extra texture and layer of flavour that I really enjoy in a white wine. Crisp with pear aromas and flavours, it is the perfect foil for a myriad of Asian dishes and curries on a cold night, and gets me in the summer vibe awaiting those long warm nights.
