Urlar Sauvignon Blanc
The majority of ripe grapes for this magnificent organic Sauvignon Blanc were fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel. The drink features a clear appearance, with just a hint of green. The soft bouquet offers subtle fragrances of white florals, stone fruits and fresh herbs. This multidimensional Urlar Sauvignon Blanc is rich and full on the palate, brimming with flavours of passionfruit, gooseberry and stone fruit. Lovely minerality balances this elegant palate, and together with all the elements, culminates in a satisfying finish. Serve this restrained Sauv Blanc with feta cheese, herb marinated white meat preparations, or shucked oysters.
Saint & Scholar Pinot Gris
This grey-skinned grape Pinot Gris underwent a gentle winemaking process with minimal colour extraction from the skin that resulted in a beautiful blush hue. On the nose, aromas of pear and nectarine are complemented by notes of roses and Turkish delight that are introduced by the yeast. The soft palate is laced with pear and lychee flavours leading to a satisfying finish. This varietal can be enjoyed with oven-roasted chicken, meaty fish or pork dishes.
The Pawn El Desperado Pinot Grigio
Aromas of melons and pears with a subtle hint of tropical and citrus fruits. The palate is fresh and crisp with overtones of almonds and acacia flowers. Spicy Thai cuisine, Chinese take-away, a glorious summer day and fresh seafood dishes.
Terra Sancta Mysterious Diggings Pinot Gris
This delightful Mysterious Diggings Pinot Gris features a pale yellow colour with green tinges throughout. The fragrant bouquet offers enticing floral aromas which gives way to a lush and intense palate filled with juicy fruit flavours and subtle spicy notes.

This wonderful Pinot Gris has the potential to be cellared for 3 to 5 years from vintage, tasting great with fresh vegetables, pastas, fish and light salads.
Heirloom Vineyards Adelaide Hills Pinot Grigio
"Faintly pinkish hue, as expected given some skin contact winemaking with this variety, as appears to be the case here. True to type aromas of brown-skinned pear and red-skinned apple with a savoury element providing some complexity. Clean and crisp on the palate, the sweetish fruit is well balanced by the acidity and a textural astringency which sits comfortably." 92 points, James Halliday Wine Companion, August 2017.
Urlar Pinot Gris
The fruit for this opulent Urlar Pinot Gris was handpicked in the cool of early morning. The wine underwent traditional fermentation in old French oak barrels. Poured into a glass, the resulting drink flaunts bright lemon hues. The fragrant nose exhibits lovely aromas of honeysuckle, sweet pear and stonefruit. These delightful characters replicate on the dry and juicy palate, which offers a full mouthfeel. The finish is long and persistent, owing to the creamy texture obtained via lees stirring. This elegant white wine will get better with up to 5 years of careful cellaring. Relish it with ricotta cheese, pork dishes or mild Asian preparations.
