Covering a myriad of sweetness options from dry through to medium sweet, and a style description that's just as broad, you'll likely encounter classic fruit and floral notes like pear, apple, honeysuckle and quince. These are all very appealing 'middle ground' flavours for most people - a big part of it's success. What will differ from wine to wine, is how it is made. Pinot Gris is about retaining the beautiful fruit flavours naturally present in the grape, but adding weight, texture, and complexity to the wine, is how a winemaker will leave their mark.

Always a go to recommendation from our team, Tohu Pinot Gris has established a consistent style that offers incredible value at its modest price. From the exceptional 2021 vintage, this wine is impressive! With an explosive core of rich fruit, balanced by a creamy mouth texture and refreshing acidity. Rich, concentrated, powerful.

Kumeu River Estate Pinot Gris 2020
Using pristine, hand harvested fruit, treated with the same care and attention all their wines are, it’s a wonder how premium producer Kumeu River can craft a wine this good for so little money! Wafts of nashi pear, quince, peach and red apple float from the glass. This hugely popular off-dry example has a hint of exotic spice, and an elegant floral charm that lingers. Luscious, juicy and refreshing. This is one of those wines that should be in the fridge on standby … permanently! Sensational drinking at $25.99 for a limited time only.
