Light but aromatic cues of lemon, apple, and pear. A fresh and vibrant wine with flavours that flow effortlessly to fill the palate and finish long, pure and refreshing with cleansing acidity. This wine is very light in feel but with terrific flavour and energy.

The nose shows lemongrass, kaffir lime and red grapefruit… Hints of crisp nectarine, rich nougat and citrus rind evolve on the back of the nose. The palate begins fresh with bright peachy fruit, pineapple and is plusher than expected once it hits the midpalate. The finish has a driving acidity that is cuddled by hints of fruit sweetness, leaving the mouth watering for another sip Winemakers Notes I discovered HBSB my first weekend here in HB in the summer of 2008 and thought right away that I wanted to make one of my own. The soft, complex, more tropical style appeals more to me than the styles grown to the south of HB. So we work on lots of lees stirring and accentuating those fleshy, rich notes. While there’s no doubt it’s a Kiwi SB, it’s also uniquely Hawke’s Bay and I love that. Vineyard Hawke’s Bay lies on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand. The region enjoys dry summers with moderate, cool nights. This wine reflects a single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc which was grown inland on the elevated terraces of the Crownthorpe sub-region of Hawke’s Bay. This appellation enjoys long, strong sunlight hours but is slightly cooler than the coastal plains of Hawke’s Bay, making it most suitable for growing Sauvignon Blanc. The 2021-22 season was a relatively warm with above average rainfall in the spring. Crop loads and options on the vine were also above average. The growing season was fine until a cold spell in February followed by some rainfall throughout March and April. However, Sauvignon Blanc remained resilient, especially up in the Crownthrope region, where we were able to let the fruit hang out to achieve the ripeness and flavour development needed to produce this unique style. Winemaking The fruit was picked over 3 days in early April then de-stemmed and crushed. The juice was settled and fermented in stainless steel tanks using two different yeasts in co-fermentation. Frequent stirring was done throughout fermentation and post fermentation allowing the solids to flesh out the palate. The wine was then cold settled and stabilized before bottling under screw-cap to maintain the bright fruit and aromatics gained from the young New Zealand soils and phenomenal UV light.

This bright and breezy Pinot Grigio by Cupio is like sunshine in a glass, bursting with juicy pear and lush peach nectar that instantly lifts the vibe. Delicate rosewater notes and a hint of musky florals weave through the aroma, giving her that effortless cool you can’t help but love. On the palate, she’s softly textured yet refreshingly crisp, with a clean, lingering finish. She’s got layers, but always keeps it light, bright, and oh-so easy to enjoy.

On the nose it’s varietal and has aromas of pear, apple and citrus with a slight hint of floral characters. The palate is a burst of citrus underpinned by balanced sweetness and acidity. Try it chilled with a variety of seafood.

Floral with pear, spice and citrus flavours light to medium weight soft acid to close.

Ciao Bella Pinot Grigio is a well balanced, light and delicate white wine full of Italian personality. It is a perfect conversation wine with easy flavours that wont intrude on food or conversation.

This Pinot gris by Hugel et Fils is rich and rounded, although still dry, it is ideal with terrines, white meats and fish in sauce. Of all the Alsace varieties, Tokay Pinot Gris has the greatest ageing potential.

Fantastic value for everyday drinking! Fresh, lifted aromas of peach, melon and tropical fruit and a palate brimming with lively varietal flavour.

Classic example of Italian Pinot Grigio, crisp and lively. Perfect with fresh calamari!

Petaluma have access to some of South Australia's premier vineyard sites which are put to impressive use here with their White Label Pinot Gris. 100% sourced from the Adelaide Hills, yet four vineyards are used to create this delicious white; two in the Piccadilly Valley, one near Balhannah and one near Lenswood. Only the very best fruit was selected and left to ferment in older French barriques, the resulting wine has a classic cool-climate backbone with racy acidity and depth of flavour on the palate.
