Harmoniously combining aromatic Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer grapes, this wine is a fairytale marriage of delicacy and elegance to bright aromas of citrus, yellow peach and white flowers. It is also savoury and spicy, textured and structured, with huge - capricious, even - personality. The Story Of What Goldilocks Did When She Was A Little Older: After several years making PGR at Daddy Bear Wine Estates, Goldilocks' talent was spotted by a Wise Man. "Goldilocks," said the Wise Man, "might you agree to dream up a sophisticated PGR for aficionados, from my biodynamic vines?" Goldilocks did agree, and by tweaking the proportions created an RPG. But that sounded like something else, so CHIAROSCURO came into being.

Biodynamics is a form of organic farming that emphasises the interrelationship of soil fertility and plant growth, drawing on Rudolf Steiner's theories that incorporates an astrological sowing and planting calendar.
Winemaking
Seresin Estate saw the potential of all of the aromatics from the Raupo vineyard and set out to make a traditional Alsatian field blend. By the end of March, there came a time where all three aromatic varietals – Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewürztraminer were ripe, so they hand harvested each varietal and combined the fruit in the field. They then transported the grapes to the winery whereby it was whole bunch pressed. The juice was left to settle naturally, then transferred to a mixture of old neutral puncheons and barriques to undertake fermentation naturally. A long, consistent fermentation took place taking 3 months. Each barrel then had a small sulphur addition and was topped then left to rest for an additional three months, stirring occasionally. Selected barrels and puncheons were then combined into a stainless steel tank to stabilise and filter prior to bottling.
