This single-vineyard Pinot Grigio is in a league of its own—bright, textured, and packed with gorgeous fruit. Aromas of ripe pear, citrus zest, and warm bread crust leap from the glass, giving way to a palate that’s all about silky elegance and subtle complexity. There’s a gorgeous weight to this wine, with hints of dried herbs and a touch of saline minerality adding depth. A zesty acidity keeps it fresh and vibrant, leading to a long, dry, beautifully refined finish. If you love New Zealand Pinot Gris, this Italian beauty will be right up your street. Crafted by Matt Thomson in partnership with local growers, this Pinot Grigio is sourced from a single, high-quality vineyard in Veneto, where the combination of cool nights and mineral-rich soils gives the fruit its intensity. Hand-harvested and gently pressed at low temperatures, the winemaking process preserves the wine’s pure aromatics and silky texture without the need for harsh fining. The result? A beautifully expressive Pinot Grigio that’s bursting with flavour, finesse, and an unmistakable sense of place. A must-try for fans of seriously good Italian whites.
