Tasting Notes

Shy Susan Pinot Gris 2023

"A new wine for Shy Susan, which looks to a rich, layered, textured and complex expression of pinot gris but with enough acid cut to support. The result is fresh and vital. It's a fascinating wine, one worth the extra investment. Honeysuckle, Asian pear, ginger and exotic notes of papaya, tangerine and almond run deep and long across a creamy, mouth-filling, supple and fleshly-packed palate. Wow!" 95 points, Special Value, Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion

The cool climate project of husband and wife Glenn James and Jo Marsh, where the sole focus is producing wines of elegance and poise. They became Halliday darlings when Shy Susan debuted as Best New Winery in the 2020 Companion. Sourcing fruit from only the most exceptional vineyards, the wines are produced in miniscule quantities. The beautiful label art is the ‘Shy Susan (Tetratheca gunnii); a critically endangered wildflower endemic to a tiny part of Tasmania. Her survival depends completely on 
a little native bee, who alone is capable of pollination. Their fate is forever entwined.’
