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.

Pale straw, vivid green youthful hue; tantalizing hints of fresh cut pear, citrus blossom and a mere suggestion of spice jump out and present themselves on the bouquet; the palate is soft, appealing, approachable and basically a whole lot of fun, with gentle bubbles and alcohol combining seamlessly, and offering the maximum amount of freshness for a drink early, enjoy and not necessarily in moderation style of sparkling wine; a spot on example of Prosecco.

On the nose it displays aromas of hazelnuts, guava and subtle marjoram spice. Wrapping around a core of chalky minerality are flavours of nectarine, guava and melon. Bringing it all together is a lemon pith, bitter almond character that complements the wickedly savoury and textured finish.

The 2024 Pizzini La Famiglia Arneis from the renowned King Valley in Victoria is a true gem. With its pale straw color and hints of green, this wine is immediately alluring. On the nose, delicate aromas of white peach, citrus, and honeysuckle blend perfectly with subtle notes of almond and honey. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and refreshing, with a medium body and crisp acidity. Flavors of juicy pear, lemon zest, and a touch of minerality dance on the tongue, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This vintage truly captures the essence of the Arneis grape, showcasing the pure fruit flavors and elegance this variety is known for. Enjoy this wine with seafood dishes or on its own as an aperitif. Cheers to the Pizzini family for another exceptional vintage!
