91 / 100"The first job of Pinot Grigio is to be refreshing. Tick. The second is to have some texture. Tick. Here we have a bright and crunchy wine featuring green pear, a light floral character, and some almonds, with a good finish featuring a little spray of green herbs and gentle bitterness to close. Nice."

Tasting Notes
Pinot Grigio was planted for our family matriarch, Tarquina known affectionately as Queenie a native of Fruili, Italy where Pinot Grigio is widely planted. The Pinot Grigio blocks are on multiple slopes with original (D1V7) and new cultivars (ENTAV 457) building layers of spice and interest. Crushed, chilled and pressed oxidatively in the traditional fashion with cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the varietal characteristics. Australia’s favourite and possibly most awarded Pinot Grigio, winning over 40 awards in the last decade.
