Tasting Notes

The aroma opens with spiced pear, peach, citrus and a delicate touch of charry oak. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, moving from pear and peach into a fresh lime line that keeps the finish clean, lifted and beautifully balanced. Lees work adds a subtle creamy thread, while the fruit stays bright and neatly defined.

Winemaking

This Pinot Gris is barrel fermented, lees stirred and matured, building savoury complexity and a smoother mid-palate. The approach gives the wine more shape than a simple crisp white, while keeping the fruit, citrus and dry finish front and centre.

Vineyard & Vintage

The fruit comes from Orange in the Central Ranges of NSW, a cool-climate region known for aromatic white wines with natural freshness. The 2024 release carries the variety’s pear and stone-fruit character, supported by citrus lift, moderate alcohol and a clean dry finish.

Why We Love It

This is Pinot Gris with a little more presence. It has the pear and peach charm people love in the variety, but the barrel ferment and lees stirring add savoury detail, making it a smart choice for roast chicken, seafood, creamy pasta and relaxed long lunches.

Food Pairing

Antonio's Organic Pinot Gris 2024 suits dishes with freshness, gentle spice and a little richness. Its lime-driven finish cuts through creamy textures, while the pear and peach notes work beautifully with seafood, chicken and aromatic vegetarian cooking.
