Hailing from the cool climate of the Central Ranges in NSW, this Pinot Gris shows some truly quenching freshness.

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”. Reigning from the cool climate of the Central Ranges in NSW, this Pinot Gris shows some truly quenching freshness. Ripe juicy pear and crunchy apple flavours dominate the palate while tying in a touch of ginger and jasmine. Each mouthful is round and fleshy holding a medium body with lots of clean pure fruit flavours. This juicy drop is an all-occasion sipper and sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Pairing guide
This beautiful fruit-forward Pinot Gris is a fantastic choice for many occasions and is a tremendously versatile and food-friendly white that is going to taste wonderful when served with a brilliant range of different foods and ingredients. Not to. mention a wine that pleases many palates! Like most Pinot Gris, this bottle is a shoo-in when it comes to matching up with chicken dishes, lightly grilled white meats, and buttery or cheesy sauces. However, it’s also beautiful alongside pork and apple dishes, smoked fish, and basically anything breaded and fried or deep-fried in batter (we’re looking at you, fish and chips!).
