Named in honour of St Ignatius (Inigo) of Loyola, co-founder of the Jesuit Order whose members established Sevenhill in 1851, the Inigo range celebrates the history and provenance of Australia’s oldest winery in the Clare Valley. The Pinot Gris is crafted in a fresh, contemporary style that highlights purity of fruit, texture and approachability while retaining varietal character. Sourced from cool-climate vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, the wine is made to showcase the aromatic and textural qualities of Pinot Gris. Gentle handling and cool fermentation preserve vibrant fruit aromas and natural freshness, while the palate develops a soft, rounded texture balanced by bright acidity. The result is an expressive and versatile wine suited to immediate enjoyment.
2026
2026 saw the first fruit harvested from Sevenhil’s Brother Kramer Pinot Gris block, located only 50 metres from the historic Church. Oxidative winemaking techniques were used to amplify the desired pulpy flavours while preserving the star-white juice colour. Aromas of nectarine, ripe peach and a hint of red apple lead to a lush yet bright palate filled with notes of apple blossom, ginger spice and iced tea. With its soft and balanced acid profile, lashings of texture and pure fruited flavours, this is a classically French-styled Pinot Gris.
2024
The wine has a heady aroma of white peach and nectarine with a floral edge of frangipani and hibiscus. The palate is wonderfully clean and delicate, with a pure, honeysuckle fruit vibrancy.
