Details
Straw coloured, with classic Gris fruit characters of fresh pears and citrus, playing amongst summery tropical fruits. The palate is light and zingy, but there is a bit of texture... still, it's more pure than complex. The perfect Pinot Gris for chilling on ice and sipping by the pool. Delightful!
From the beautifully warm and sunny Murray Darling in Victoria's North West, where grapes bask in the sunshine, producing an artist's colour palette of grapes to play with. "With a whopping 350 hectares 'under vine' (how many vines they have planted), it is here in this sunny place near Mildura, where wine is given its full-flavoured identity. La La Land are all about sunshine and happiness in the glass, with fun and fanciful drops, full of personality. It's a winery to know and explore, with plenty of single varieties to try, from Pinot Gris to Malbec... La La Land really are a breath of fresh air to the sometimes stuffy world of wine. These growers intentionally choose grape varietals slightly different to the norm, and lean towards the flavoursome and generous styles, made with a creative flair and a touch of funk. Wines for dreamers, visionaries and beautiful minds. They best describe this cheeky white as "In a secret wonderland, a place of vines and sun, grows a grape with two names, not just simply one...The Italians sip Pinot Grigio, the French quaff Pinot Gris, but we think, drink La La Land and you'll see"

Wine region

Murray Darling, Australia
The Murray Darling wine region is one of the three that is the backbone of the Australian wine industry, alongside the Riverland and Riverina. The Murray Darling is situated along the Victorian and NSW border with Mildura being the centre. Whether it is grapes or oranges and other fruit, this is the place to find them. It's a hot and dry area with long, hot summers and cool winters, making it the perfect spot for growing grapes. Aside from the commercial wineries that source a large amount of fruit from this region, there is also a growing scene of alternative varietals thanks to wineries like Chalmers.
