Pinot Grigio/Gris

WINERY RATING

James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2011

Adelaide Hills, South Australia. Medium bodied with textures that wash over the mid palate. Balanced acidity ensures the wine does not finish too heavy...

King Valley, Victoria. Aomas of green almond, dried wild flowers and pears on the nose give way to a palate that has layers of texture and flavour. There's plenty of varietal pear and a little almond too; twisting savoury and gently chalky to close...

King Valley, Victoria. Fresh pears, quince, spice, Granny Smith apples and delicate floral notes on the nose. The palate is fresh and crunchy with nice textural tannins, mineral notes and balanced acidity...

 

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. The height of the vineyard results in long ripening and high levels of natural acidity persisting through to the wine, which although powerful and textured still remains restrained and elegant. There are hints of nuts, white flower and lemon/mandarin. On the Palate there is an entry of pear and citrus with mid palate weight and flow, while finishing tight and dry...

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. Quartier is a word which means neighbourhood in French. The fruit for this wine is sourced from a neighbouring vineyard in Red Hill. Warm straw colour. An expressive nose with aromas of nougat, lychee and hints of tropical fruits, tempered with a soft creaminess. The palate is round and full yet dry and structured, with moderate alcohol and balanced acidity...

Otago, New Zealand. Made in a dry, rich, oily style, which is particularly suited to New Zealand cuisine as we strongly believe that pinot gris is the only white variety that can compliment these wonderfully diverse flavours...

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. Bright Straw. Bright, intense and lifted fruit aromas dominate the nose, there is Lychee, nashi pear, spice and a touch honey. The palate leads off with beautifully textured and rounded and follows through with an array of complex and delicate floral nuances...

Nelson, New Zealand. Fresh and full bodied, with a slightly oily texture and strong, gently sweet pear, citrus fruit and peach flavours. Fifteen per cent barrel-ageing adds a touch of complexity...
