Hanging Rock Winery - The Jim Jim Three (Pinot Gris, Reisling, Gewurtz)

'The Jim Jim' is a small mountain elevation of 750m, just near the famous Hanging Rock in the Macedon Ranges Wine Region of Victoria. It is cold by world viticultural standards, producing wines that have a lot in common with the cooler regions of France and New Zealand and bearing little similarity to those of the warmer parts of Australia where this variety is often grown.

2024 was a cooler, wetter year. Without many extremely hot days and a moderate amount of rain at the right times meant that the vines were very healthy and produced a great crop with great flavours. 

This wine is a blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling & Gewurztraminer, all grown on the Jim Jim vineyard. The 2024 vintage is the tenth in which Hanging Rock have blended these parcels of fruit together to make this traditional blend. These three cool climate varieties complement each other greatly. The Riesling is crisp, the Pinot Gris adds a savoury note and weight and the Gewurztraminer adds a pretty floral note and some richness to the wine.
