2024 Fin Wines Speedo Gris

Fin Wines, launched in January 2020 by JonJo McEvoy, Oliver Johns, and Angus Hean, is a fermentation collective based in Dixons Creek, Yarra Valley, on Wurundjeri Country. Focused on producing fresh, fun, and highly drinkable wines, ciders, and piquettes, they use minimal intervention techniques like spontaneous fermentation, no filtering, and minimal additives. The 10-acre vineyard, planted in the early 1990s on grey-red sandy loam over clay, is sustainably farmed to preserve soil and biodiversity. Its mix of south and north-facing slopes benefits from cooling influences from nearby hills.

This 100% Pinot Gris comes from Box Grove Vineyard, planted on sandy soils ideal for whites. Handpicked in two passes, half the fruit is on Roussanne rootstock and the rest on Cabernet. A mix of carbonic and destemmed fermentation, with 5 days on skins, followed by aging in old oak and stainless steel. Fresh and juicy, it offers flavors of strawberries, pears, mandarin, and white flowers, with a light chalky texture. A playful, vibrant wine full of character.
