This is definitely Gris, not Grigio with baked quinces, crisp apple and interesting notes of clove spice. Partial barrel ferment helps this wine dial up texture and palate weight. An enticing alternative to Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

This Pinot Grigio is a crisp white wine with aromas of savoury pear and fresh peach. This versatile wine is proving to be a popular choice for any occasion, with or without food. Try this wine with olive oil and garlic spaghetti with artichoke, Kalamata olives, goats cheese and fresh chilli. Alternatively, this wine is always a great match to an antipasto platter containing artichokes, olives, asparagus and prosciutto.

Arneis, a crisp, crunchy, spicy Italian white originating from Piedmont, Italy, traditionally made without oak. Dal Zotto are owned and managed by the Dal Zotto family where their vineyards, winery and cellar door lie cradled in the tranquil King Valley in the foothills of the spectacular Victorian Alps of northeast Victoria. Their Arneis shows all the trademark lifted aromatics and crunchy acidity of its Italian cousins. Enjoy with great company and a plate of seared scallops.

Scotchmans Hill Swan Bay have firmly established itself as a premium player with great affordability. Their Pinot Grigio is full and ripe with nashi pear and stone fruits, creating mid palate richness which flows through to bath salts and honey characters on the finish. The wine is supported by firm acid and a mineral back bone; and has a long and lingering aftertaste.

This wine displays a bright yellow colour with green hues. The nose shows a unique combination of fresh lime, honeysuckle, nectarine and subtle tropical fruit. These aromas lead to a textural and lively palate with hints of stonefruit, lychee and fragrant spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. Try with gingered chicken and Caesar salad.

Dal Zotto Sangiovese is mid garnet with a purple hue; the savoury bouquet is immediately reminiscent of Tuscany with briary red fruits, sour cherry in particular, sage and thyme and a little earthy complexity adding interest; the palate is medium-bodied and fleshy on entry, with the crunchy tannin and acid of the variety providing an engaging and savoury platform to conclude; will handle a huge array of flavours, from light to full blooded.

Peregrine's Pinot Gris serves up some interest that goes beyond New Zealand's most famous white variety. Instead of kiwifruit and gooseberries, savour Pinot Gris' poached pears and red apples. There's some crisp acidity hiding in the back that keeps the palate fresh, with some mealy texture providing a nice mouthfeel.

Clean, crisp and fruit driven. A sure win at any party, or any night of the week around a good cheese plate.

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.

Peregrine Pinot Gris from Central Otago in New Zealand overflows with ripe pear, peach, mango, grapefruit and has an underlying steely minerality. It is well balanced and mouth filling with great persistence. Lovely drinking now, this wine will continue to develop over the next few years.
