If you're unfamiliar, then this is a light red blend of pinot gris, pinot noir and pinot meunier - roughly one third each. It's built from the grapes upwards to showcase the wonder of blending pinot gris with its red cousins - which all have a distinct role to play. When chilled down it's all crunchy red apple, raspberry and bramble. At room temperature it's more cherry ripe and red plum. We love it for its versatility, drinkability and the way it satisfies the 'I just want some red wine' cravings without the stained teeth and dry mouth of something richer.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFruit and winemaking: \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eDespite its fresh and juicy profile, this is actually a detailed wine to make. After handpicking and destemming, we co-fermented the pinot gris and the pinot meunier for 12 days on skins. The pinot noir was also hand picked and destemmed, but fermented for only 10 days. The idea behind this is to maximise the extract out of the pinot gris, as we like this tannin to form the main structure of this wine. The red grapes are more for colour and palate weight; think of it as the pinot gris is the scaffolding and the red pinot's are all the pretty cladding. After pressing, everything is sent to old oak to finish primary and malolactic fermentation, and the wines stay in oak for almost a year on full solids. We add sulphur after malo, and another small addition prior to bottling - but there are no other additions or adjustments. We didn't filter or fine this wine either, so there is some fine sediment in some bottles. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou'd like this if you like: Being a true light red, it fits in alongside lots of the lighter styles of pinot, meunier, gamay and of course Beaujolias.\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e- Eminence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \/ Variety: Chilled Red\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Whitlands, VIC\u003cbr\u003eABV: 12.2%\u003cbr\u003eVol: 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eminence","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":48151100260610,"sku":"2001556","price":43.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/6149\/9906\/files\/20260722_Eminence-PinotXThreeLightRed2024750ml_1.jpg?v=1784690735","url":"https:\/\/carwyncellars.com.au\/products\/eminence-pinot-x3-light-red-2024-750ml","provider":"Carwyn Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
