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.

Made by 5-star Halliday Winery Oakridge these Over the Shoulder wines offer excellent value for money. Dry, textural and crunchy with pristine pear flavours, this is a refreshing alternative to NZ Sauvignon Blanc.

The triumphant result of a meticulous search among many fine parcels of Pinot Gris. Bracing clean acidity, white stone fruits, pear and minerals. Superb.

The fruit for this Onannon Mornington Pinot Gris was handpicked and pressed immediately into the tank. It is then settled overnight and racked to both tank and old barrels. A cool fermentation took place over two months during which the wine was stirred regularly to increase texture. Resulting in wine with great aromas such as ripe pears, mixed stone fruits with hints of cooked green apple in the background. It then leads to a full flavoured, textured palate with a delightful finish.

Aromas of red apple, quince, pear and some underlying ginger spice. The palate is full, rich and fruit driven and has some lovely acidty, balanced by the natural fruit sugars retained in this wine.

Soumah, named for its location 'South of Maroondah Highway', specialise in quality clonal selection. This latest Pinot Grigio is one to get your hands on. Textural, from time on lees, figs and pear show through with a hint of musk. - Bri, Vintage Cellars Little Bourke Street.

A savoury crisp pinot gris from master wine-maker Rob Dolan out of the Yarra Valley. Classic rose petals, melon, guava pear aromas overflowing from the glass. The finish is savoury and long, making this a wonderful food style wine.

Another terrific white wine to come from New Zealands Marlborough winemaking region. Fresh apple, pear and mandarin flavours with a little touch of spice make this a great match for a coconut and coriander packed curry.
