Dazzling with enticing fruit and fresh herb aromas, a scintillating mouthful of rich peach and grapefruit is evident on the palate. Lemon, lime and a mineral crispness also persist with a gentle spicy finish.
The Farnese team add to their already impressive range with an authentic, intensely refreshing Pinot Grigio. Full of crisp, invigorating citrusy flavours, it's sure to be the next Farnese showstopper!

The grapes come from one solitary vineyard in the mountainous Molise. It's a thrilling landscape of high, empty spaces and little lost towns. Pinot Grigio is rarely grown here but winemakers Valentino, Flippo and Camillo thought the potential was huge. So they found their spot, grew the vines… and proved their point!

A stunning expression of the variety showing all the likeable flavours of stonefruit, pear and spice together with palate- pleasing rich texture and intensity leading to a refreshing finish. The wine is beautifully framed and most appealling.

The name of each wine in the King’s Series reflects an element of the story of Brent Marris`s ancestors who, in the 12th and 13th century, inhabited the island of Lundy, off the South West coast of England. They had a tempestuous relationship with the English Monarchy, sometimes experiencing its favour and at other times its wrath. The wines are impressive flagships for the Marisco estate and the wines and design have won multiple awards.

The Ned Pinot Gris 2015 - Best Wine with Roasted Suckling Pig Trophy "Extended skin contact on a selection of the ripest fruit parcels is essential for promoting the signature salmon pink colour of the Ned Pinot Gris. Equally important is the positive effect this technique has on enhancing the wine’s overall richness and mouth feel, providing the perfect counterpoint to the fine and slightly drying tannin texture that dominates the long, spicy finish."

“A medium to full bodied Pinot Grigio, with creamy pastry and toasted hazelnuts, notes, featuring flavours of nectarine, candied ginger, verbena and cardamom. The vibrant acidity creates a racy frame and drives this to a long mouthwatering finish. Enjoy with seafood, lasagne and coldcuts.

The mild climate of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region is ideally suited to Pinot Grigio production and here La Delizia have exploited the light copper coloured tint in the skins to make the palest of roses with elegant fine pear style fruit and crisp refreshing acidity. A hint of minerality provides sufficient under carriage to make it food friendly but it's ideal to drink just by itself.

A rich & intense Pinot Grigio revealing elegant flavours of apple and pear

Silver Medal: Selection Mondial du Vins, Montreal

A white wine made from copper-coloured grapes, it presents an optimal level of acidity and pleasant mineral qualities. This is a full-bodied, tasty wine, revealing intense hints of apple and ripe pear.

With the care of an artisan who chooses amidst his pattern book of fabrics, they walk along the rows of their 200-hectare vineyard in the Grave del Friuli, to test the quality of every single grape variety. In the cellars – with the passion of a tailor – they create wines capable of valorizing the wine making traditions of Friuli, interpreting them with a gaze turned toward the future. For over forty years, this has been the signature style that guides Borgo Magredo while it transforms the most classic “cloth” to create wines with a modern cut.

The most celebrated wine in the world, Pinot Grigio has been cultivated in Friuli for centuries with great results that showcase the intense expressivity of the area’s hilly terrain, where local wines acquire intense scents and a good level of concentration.

This straw-colored wine has golden reflections. To the nose, it gives off pronounced floral scents that become fruity, recalling the flavor of apple and ripened pear. The palate will find this wine soft and engulfing as it wisely combines good body with pleasantly acidic nervature, which provides for fresh drinkability. Well-balanced in all its components, this wine has a good level of persistence.

Ripe, crisp and citrussy with a characteristic hint of almonds. Soft apple and pear flavours that last in the mouth.

"This Italian grape variety is sexy"

The Ferrari of white, Italian grape varieties.
Pinot Grigio is an Italian grape variety that grows very well in Australia's warm climate, creating wines of not only great drinking, but excellent for matching with food. This wine shows classic characters of nashi pear, green apples and floral notes with a hint of pineapple, but better still, it makes you feel like you've made a little trip to Italy when you drink it. Without the long haul flights.

Aroma:Nashi pears, white peach and granny smith apples.
Flavour:This Pinot Grigio displays juicy pear, green apple juice and subtle floral notes with just a hint of pineapple. It is concentrated but with enough acidity to keep the wine very lively. Serve with prawn linguini, vegetable soup or ginger and shallot steamed fish.
