About the wine
Generous Alsace-style Pinot Gris
- Get ready for a Pinot Gris with a big personality! The fruit hails from central Ballandean, a region renowned for its ripe and flavoursome grapes.
- 6-hours skin contact has given this wine a fantastic texture in the mouth and enticing copper blush, just like Pinot Gris wines from the Alsace region of France.
- It has a confectionary scent, peppered with hints of ripe pear that carry through to the palate. More spice and pepper characters and a little skin contact ‘grip’ make this a great partner to rich food.
Best before
This wine is ready to drink now. However, considering its slight astringency, & bold aromas & flavours, elements of longevity, this wine could possibly benefit with ageing for up to 7 years.
Serving advice
Drink straight out of the fridge for a refreshing aperitif. All the wine to warm up to release & intensify aromas & flavours when accompanying with richly flavoured foods.
Food match
Spicy vegetarian or spicy seafood goes perfectly with the rich flavours & textural characteristics of this wine.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Glen Robert
- Expect the unexpected from Glen Robert at La Petite Mort. A former medical research chemist, Glen fell under wine’s spell around 2000 – and never looked back.
- In 2014, he discovered Shiraz and Viognier vines in need of some TLC in Ballandean, on Queensland’s Granite Belt. Today, the 40-hectare Bent Road property is home to vines, winery, wilderness and granite boulders, stretching along the pristine Severn River at more than 750 metres above sea level.
- It’s a surprisingly cool, continental corner of Queensland – one of the coolest growing regions in Australia – and that climate gives Glen’s wines their distinctive elegance, savoury spice and depth of flavour.
- La Petite Mort is Glen’s label – avant-garde, experimental and made for curious drinkers, these are wines that happily throw the rulebook out the window. Think extended skin contact, ancestral techniques and plenty of Glen’s scientific curiosity – resulting in seriously intriguing wines for those who like their next bottle to be a little bit different.
