Ghost Rock Estate Pinot Gris 2025

Ghost Rock is a cornerstone of Tasmania’s Cradle Coast, founded by the Arnold family and instrumental in shaping the region’s reputation over the past two decades. Today, the estate is led by second-generation winemaker Justin Arnold alongside his wife, Alicia Peardon.

The vineyards sit on varied expressions of volcanic clay, from loam to sand, carefully farmed to manage vigour and preserve balance. The result is a quietly confident range of wines that reflect both site and season: precise, cool-climate expressions shaped by experience rather than ego

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Gris from Cradle Coast, Tasmania. It is sourced across the estate vineyards, and is usually intentionally left on the vine longer than most.

They find it’s a variety that develops its delicious fruit profile very late, and their cool, temperate climate allows them to do this without the risk of losing vital acidity late in the season.

Taste Profile: Pale gold in color, it has a lively and delicious bouquet of nashi pear, jasmine, nutmeg, and marzipan with a slight hint of flint

On the palate, it is deliciously lush on entry and in the mid palate, whilst our region’s lively acidity delivers freshness, length and structure. Lashings of flavour persist on the back palate.

Winemaking Process: The fruit is machine harvested & 95% of the juice was pressed to tank with moderate clarification, before undergoing a cool, controlled ferment over 10+ days. The remaining 5% of juice was pressed to 500L French oak barriques for fermentation, before rejoining the majority in tank to preserve overall freshness and purity.
