A relative newcomer on the Australian wine scene, Pinot Grigio offers a real alternative to the more traditional white varieties. Yalumba provide an exellent example here with a spicy, flavoursome, textured and a great food match styled wine.

This great Pinot Gris from Mt Difficulty has aromatics reminiscent of a fruit cocktail full of stone fruit, melon and green mango. These characters are richly replicated on the palate, with a full-textured mid palate and an off-dry finish. Delicious.

Vavasour Pinot Gris displays a richly structured palate featuring layers of crisp fruit, backed by hints of ginger and the long mineral finish typical of the Awatere Valley.

Established in 1996, Printhie has quickly garnered a repuation for quality cool climate wines, even picking up a 5 star rating from James Halliday. Pinot Gris is well suited here with luscious honeysuckle flavours balanced with bracing acidity. Textural mouthfeel adds to the mix of what is a wine to keep an eye on!

Sidewood Pinot Gris is sourced from selected rows from their 300 acre estate in the Adelaide Hills. This cool climate, estate grown wine shows a fresh nose and palate of crisp apples, nashi pear and citrus. With a smooth, almost silk like texture, this excellent Gris has brilliant natural acidity and a length and character that will allow the wine to age wonderfully.

From the home of Pinot Grigio, this is an ideal summer wine. Zesty citrus and fresh pear flavours are complemented by crisp, refreshing acidity. Perfect for prawns or just enjoy a glass on its own.

An authentic Pinot Grigio from the home of the variety in northern Italy, Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio is pale straw-yellow in colour with a clean, intense aroma and dry flavour with pleasant golden apple aftertaste. It is a Pinot Grigio of great character and versatility.

The hallmark of Tim Adams' Pinot Gris is the balance between flavour sweetness and acidity. Nashi pear, green apple and tropical fruit aromas lead into a full-flavoured, rich and textured palate.

Another outstanding Pinot Grigio from Pizzini. Aromas of ripe pear lead the way in the bouquet and the palate is fresh with crisp, zippy acidity very true to the grigio style. Enjoy it with seafood.

Twelve Degrees - not only the optimal drinking temperature for great Pinot Noir, but also the name of this striking Pinot from New Zealand. Brimming with terroir driven flavours of bold, ripe cherry and spice accented oak, this is a modern Pinot Noir style that is perfectly suited to rich game dishes. Twelve Degrees; just right, just perfect.
