Overview

Overview

T’Gallant is the sailor’s abbreviation for topgallant, the top sail of square-rigger sailing ships. Like our winemaking philosophy, it represents the peak of an adventurous, free spirit.

Nestled in the hills of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, T’Gallant pioneered Pinot Gris and Grigio wines in Australia in the 1990s – a brave move that defied all advice at a time when classic varietals dominated. Nonetheless people fell in love with them and the new styles flourished.

Named after the daughter of the T’Gallant label designer, Imogen is the original T’Gallant Pinot Gris. Inspired by the Pinot Gris of Alsace in France, Imogen is partly sourced from the T’Gallant Estate Vineyard blended with fruit from selected high altitude vineyards from across the Peninsula.

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

Aromatically appealing – perfume and spice, with honeysuckle and orange blossom with archetypal ripe pear. A suggestion of brioche and bread dough arising adds a lovely savoury edge.

Flavours and Palate

Ripe pear and savoury notes continue through to the palate with a faint hint of white peach. Wonderfully textural, with tantalising mouth-coating phenolics and a fine, tight line of acid ensuring a very long palate.

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria

High quality, cool climate varieties thrive in this stunning Victorian maritime climate just an hour from Melbourne. Its terroir nourishes late ripening Pinot Noir and Chardonnay boasting extraordinary natural acidity, perfect to enjoy overlooking views of the bay.

Adam Carnaby

As a Hospitality Manager at Melbourne’s Hilton Hotel, Adam’s affinity for the wine industry became so apparent that he enrolled in a Bachelor of Wine Science degree at Charles Sturt University, graduating in 2003. In 2001 he was appointed Assistant Winemaker at Yering Station in the Yarra Valley where he remained for five years, gaining vintage experience in Burgundy in-between. Then in 2007 he moved to Margaret River to be a Winemaker at Xanadu Wines for a further five years. These days Adam proudly dons two winemaking hats, creating outstanding cool climate wines from across Victoria: in 2011 he commenced as Seppelt Winemaker and in 2016 added the responsibilities of being Winemaker for T’Gallant. He relishes the challenge of being in charge of two great Australian wine producers – Seppelt with its 165 year history and focus on cool climate sparkling, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Riesling from the Grampians, Heathcote and Henty regions; and the more eccentric T’Gallant, pioneers of Pinot Grigio and Gris in Australia based in the Mornington Peninsula.
