It is probably not a surprise that Pinot Grigio is a brunch favourite for good reason- it is typically light and crisp, with citrus and stone fruit flavours, and goes well with just about everything. In spite of its French heritage, Pinot Gris/Grigio is now grown throughout the world and is best enjoyed young and fresh.
Pinot Gris, France = Pinot Grigio, Italy/Rest of the World
Pinot Grigio can have different notes and tastes depending on where the grapes are grown.
Aromas of Pinot Grigio wines include citrus, green apples, and white flowers. Italian Pinot Grigio tend to be floral, whereas Californian Pinot Grigio are fruitier.
A Pinot Gris can also have faint honey notes, a soft floral aroma like honeysuckle and a saline minerality. In particular, Pinot Gris from Alsace can also be off-dry (slightly sweet) to full on sweet (try Late Harvest or Tokay d’Alsace).

Pinot Grigio pairs well with appetisers, seafood, shellfish and light meals, thanks to its bright acidity that cuts through and enhances the flavours. In addition to creamy soups, rich meals such as salmon and roasted chicken, Pinot Gris is also great partner with pork due to its silky mid-palate and smooth acidity.
Although Pinot Grigio may not be as complex as Chardonnay because of its high acidity and lighter body, it is certainly beloved by white wine lovers around the world.

MonteCampo Pinot Grigio delle Venezie 2020
"Delicately fruity, relatively full and refined. it offers an ensemble of aromas of great finesse. The wine is remarkably soft, lightly dry yet extremely fresh. It also offers a delicious reminder of the original grape. Its light and elegant structure makes this an unusually refined and aristocratic wine." - Winemaker's Notes.

Andrew Peace Masterpeace Pinot Grigio 2018
"A clear pale straw coloured wine, packed with lychee and passionfruit on the nose. This Pinot Grigio is slightly citrus on the palate with fantastic acid balance. It also finishes with a crisp tropical finish." - Winemaker's Notes.

Huia Pinot Gris 2017
“Pear, apple and white blossom show on the nose. On the palate, the flavours of white peach and nashi pear are supported by a soft creamy texture. There is a hint of mandarin and spice on the end palate.” - Winemaker's Notes
