2025 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
Aromatic and inviting, the wine layers fresh orchard fruits with hints of jasmine, fennel pollen and wet stone. The palate is soft and flowing, offering a gentle richness wrapped in flavours of yellow apple, pear skin and lime curd. A subtle thread of spice and a chalky mineral edge bring shape and balance, while bright acidity ensures a clean, refreshing finish. Fragrant, textural and quietly complex, it’s a versatile white with broad appeal.
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.
