The Bone Dry range focuses on crisp, carefree wines that suit bone-dry days perfectly. The Pinot Gris is a trendy number for those who like walking through apple orchards. With this in mind, there are apples and pears in abundance, with a nice textural finish.
Origin: Burgundy, in eastern France. Mainly Grown In: Italy (as Pinot Grigio), Germany (as Grauburgunder - the local name for Pinot Gris), USA, France (as Pinot Gris). Key Facts: Drum roll please... Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are two different names for THE SAME GRAPE VARIETY. The use of Gris or Grigio depends on which country the grape was grown in and subtle stylistic differences. Pinot Grigio is the Italian version, and is typically known for being light and zesty. Where as Pinot Gris, the French version of the grape, is often richer and riper tasting with some spiciness. When made outside of Italy and France, Grigio or Gris name is used as a marker to define the style that the winemaker thinks it suits best; lean like Italian Pinot Grigio or riper and rounder like the French Pinot Gris. Fun Fact: In Germany Pinot Gris is locally called Grauburgunder which translates to “Grey Burgundy”.

Pairing guide
A great Pinot Gris is a thing of real beauty, and this bottle from Bone Dry is absolutely no exception. We loved it with a simple plate of fresh oysters and a piquant garnish, but it’s every bit as good with French bistro classics like mussels in wine and cream sauce, poached salmon, or a quiche lorraine. Roast chicken, flaky white fish, medium Indian curries or Thai noodles will work very well, and it’s also going to be fantastic with pork tenderloin or a spaghetti vongole.

Wine region

South Australia, Australia
South Australia is a wide and varied state when it comes to wine production. From the coastal regions of Limestone Coast and McLaren Vale, to the warmer inland valleys of Barossa and Eden, to the flats of Langhorne Creek, there's a range of terroirs and temperatures across this wide brown land. As a result, wines labelled with only South Australia can display a range of flavours! The state is probably best known for Shiraz, Grenache and Cab Sav in reds, and Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay in white. Whatever your flavour, there's plenty to explore!
