2025 Henty Pinot Gris

Vineyard
This single vineyard wine is grown in the ultra-cool Drumborg sub-region of Henty, in far south-west Victoria. It is planted in degraded volcanic buckshot topsoil over a permeable cracking red clay base. The vines are VSP-trained and grow with moderate vigour. Far enough inland to experience continental-like cool nights, the site is also significantly influenced by its proximity to the Great Southern Ocean. The Doeven Vineyard is biologically farmed with minimal inputs and organic practices (not certified).

Winemaking
Hand-harvested fruit was picked on the 5th of March, and chilled overnight before being whole bunch pressed to stainless steel tank. The juice was settled clean and then carefully racked back to tank, where it underwent a long, slow, cool fermentation to retain aromatic complexity. When dry, the wine was left on yeast lees to build subtle texture and creaminess on the palate. 12.8% alcohol. Vegan friendly. 

Independent Review
"Punchy at soft at once. Pears, florals, sweet spices and ripe apples. Everything rushes upon to meet you and holds your attention for long enough. There’s plenty of flavour here and yet throughout it feels controlled." 91 Points
Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front. March 2026

"A bright green gold. With its aromas of apricot, white pear and acacia, this is both concentrated and beautifully fresh. The palate is ripe, fleshy and balanced. Another lovely example from Provenance to drink now and over the next two to three years."
