Pinot Grigio White Wines
Pinot Grigio has a reputation problem. Too many mass-produced, flavourless versions have convinced people it is a one-note grape. We think that is unfair - and this collection exists to prove it. When grown carefully in the right place, Pinot Grigio produces white wines with real personality, texture, and charm.
Pinot Grigio White Wine with Real Character
Italy remains the natural home of Pinot Grigio white wine, and the Ke Bonta Pinot Grigio 2024 is a bright, well-made expression - citrus, pear, and a clean mineral finish that makes it instantly refreshing. But we have also sourced bottles that push the variety in more interesting directions.
The Artelium Pinot Gris 2023 from England takes a more textured approach - cooler-climate fruit with richer stone-fruit character and a longer, more complex finish. From Australia, the Corryton Burge Kith Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris 2021 offers weight and complexity that will surprise anyone who thinks Pinot Grigio can only be light and simple.
Pinot Grigio White Wine Paired with Food
The crisp acidity and clean fruit profile of Pinot Grigio white wine makes it one of the easiest wines to pair with food - particularly lighter dishes where you do not want the wine to compete:
- Fresh pasta with pesto or a light lemon-butter sauce - the wine's acidity brightens the dish
- Grilled white fish or calamari - clean flavours that complement rather than overwhelm
- Caprese salad with buffalo mozzarella - fresh, delicate flavours matched by a fresh, delicate wine
- Sushi and sashimi - the mineral freshness of a good Pinot Grigio is ideal with raw fish
Pinot Grigio vs Pinot Gris: Understanding the Difference
Same grape, different styles. Italian Pinot Grigio white wine tends towards lighter body, higher acidity, and citrus-forward flavours. French Pinot Gris (particularly from Alsace) and New World versions are typically richer, with more stone-fruit character and a rounder mouthfeel. We carry both styles, so you can explore the spectrum.
The Kumeu River Estate Pinot Gris 2020 from New Zealand leans towards the richer Alsatian style - textured and aromatic. For something completely different, the Ke Bonta Pinot Grigio Rosé 2024 captures the grape's pink-skinned character in a fresh, delicate rosé.
