ABV: 12.9%

Beautifully expressive from the first pour - layers of orchard fruit roll out with yellow pear, red apple, and a lift of tangerine peel. There’s a gentle floral note, like honeyed blossoms, and just a hint of tropical flair in the form of pineapple skin. This is Gris with character - textural, generous, and full of personality, yet still holding onto a bright, refreshing edge. It’s the kind of white that walks the line between richness and drinkability, making it as easy to sip solo as it is to pair with food. 

Xavier Goodridge crafts idiosyncratic expressions of Pinot Noir born in Yarra Valley and on his organically farmed vineyard in Gippsland’s Maffra in Victoria. In collaboration with exceptional growers from the Yarra, Mount Gambier and Henty, he sources the highest quality grapes for his Pa Pa range. With the light touch in the winery, Xavier lets the wines speak of the land.

Xavier’s winemaking style supports his philosophy of letting the vineyard's work shine through in the finished wine. For him, winemaking is the ‘easy part’, as he believes that the foundation for great wines is laid in the vineyard itself. His light touch approach means the wines ferment spontaneously with indigenous yeast to express their natural characteristics without manipulation. Wines are raised in large-format oak, allowing them to mature gently and gracefully.

Xavier’s wines captivate the senses with their purity and lively energy.
