2024 MadFish Pinot Gris
$23.00
Pinot Gris, or Pinot Grigio, is one of the traditional grape varieties grown in the Alsatian region of France and the north east of Italy. Pinot Gris is ever-increasing in popularity and plantings in the cooler, wine-producing areas of Australia.
When grown outside of Europe, the labelling choice between Gris and Grigio is really stylistic – Gris suggesting a white wine of reasonable body and structure, and spicy, floral aromatics; Grigio, a leaner, lighter drink, with crisp acidity.
Both Gris and Grigio mean grey – the name referring to the grey/pink bloom of the grape variety’s skin. If the winemaker chooses to ferment with some skin contact, the final wine may have an attractive pinky/brassy colour.

TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Beeswax candle, nashi pear and green apple meld together on the nose with wafts of honeydew melon and wet stone. The palate is textural, yet fresh and displays further fruit notes of green plums and water melon rind with a bright, tartness that provides length and drive. An energetic mix of green fruits and spice balance a slightly weighted mouthfeel that finishes with a crisp, citrus-like acidity
Food Match
Drink alongside Thai fish cakes with coriander and chilli dipping sauce.
Recommended Cellaring
Enjoy now or over the next 2 to 3 years.
