Pinot Gris, not Pinot Grigio. Same grape, entirely different intention. Where Grigio is made lean and crisp for drinking fast, Gris is left to ripen and build texture and this is the fuller, silkier end of the family. Grown on a single cool-climate block in Canyonleigh, it is the textural white a winter table has been waiting for. The fruit was left to hang into the cool Southern Highlands autumn, building the ripeness and weight that give this style its texture while the altitude held on to the natural acidity underneath. Grown on a single block at PepperGreen Estate, this wine reflects the unique terroir of Canyonleigh altitude, cool nights and the conditions that give our whites their distinctive drive and character. Crafted with minimal intervention to let the variety speak for itself.

Food Pairing

This is a white with enough weight and texture to sit beside cold-weather cooking. Where a lighter white would disappear, the Gris holds its ground against cream, butter, roasted flavours and gentle spice. Pasta and Risotto: wild mushroom risotto, creamy pappardelle, pumpkin gnocchi, carbonara Roasts and White Meats: roast chicken with thyme, slow-roasted pork belly, crackling and apple, veal schnitzel Richer Seafood: seared scallops, prawns in garlic butter, smoked trout, fish pie Spice: Vietnamese and Thai salads, mild curries, five-spice duck pancakes Cheese: semi-hard cheeses, Comté, gruyère, aged gouda, washed rind

Serving Suggestion

Serve at 10 to 12 degrees in a medium-sized white wine glass. A touch warmer than you would pour a crisp white -served too cold, the texture and spice that make this wine what it is go quiet. Give it ten minutes out of the fridge and let it open. The 2023 Pinot Gris is currently featured in our Tasting Room paired with wild mushroom and parmesan risotto.
