Taste Profile

Tasting Notes

Crystal clear with a faint gold hue, this Pinot Grigio opens with a pretty floral lift — honeysuckle first, then pear and white nectarine. The palate follows through in the same gentle, fruit-driven way, finishing crisp and refreshing with a clean, easy line of acidity. It’s not a heavy white, and it’s not oaky; it’s all about delicate flavour, brightness and that “one more glass” drinkability.

Winemaking

Made in a freshness-first style to keep aromatics bright and the palate clean. Fruit is picked and handled gently, then fermented in cool stainless steel to preserve those floral and orchard-fruit notes. The goal is a tidy, modern Pinot Grigio with minimal fuss and maximum refreshment.

Vineyard & Vintage

This is a single-vineyard wine sourced from Angove’s certified organic Nanya Vineyard near Paringa in South Australia’s Riverland. The moderately fertile soils, abundant sunshine, warm days and cool nights help deliver flavour-packed fruit with natural freshness. Angove view the vineyard as a holistic system of interconnected organic prosperity, farming without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or fertilisers.

Why We Love It

Because it’s the kind of white that makes life easier: light, bright, gently floral and food-friendly, with just enough fruit sweetness to feel generous while still finishing crisp.

Food Pairing

This style loves fresh, simple plates: salads, seafood, grilled chicken, and lightly spiced veg dishes. The gentle off-dry feel also helps with chilli heat and salty flavours.
