About the wine
Clean, crisp and great value - the perfect summer sip!
- Pinot Grigio and Savvy Blanc drinkers - this one’s for you! Favorita is a white grape very similar to Vermentino, grown primarily in the Piedmont region of NW Italy. This delicious example is made from fruit from Kevin’s grower mate in the Murray Darling wine region.
- It's a perfect summer sip - clean, crisp and bursting with the character of ripe fruit and balanced acidity. Think tropical fruit, lemon and some floral spice. Exciting, food friendly and great value.
- Try a bottle and drop Kevin a note to tell him how it went down. He’s super keen to hear! With your support, he hopes Favorita can become an important variety for Heresy.
Best before
I wouldn't cellar this wine; drink within two years.
Serving advice
Straight from fridge to table to glass.
Food match
Seafood a no brainer; for me it would be snapper in foil with plenty of lemon; cooked slowly.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Kevin McCarthy
- Kevin's award-winning winemaking career spans decades and his success is largely thanks to his silky talents and his steely courage. Widely recognised as the founding father of Pinot Gris/Grigio in Australia, Kevin McCarthy is, and always has been, a rebel - a deadset heretic.
- Taught by the masters in Alsace, France and Collio, Italy, he's helped change the Australian wine landscape as we know it. Kevin was encouraged by his mentors to take risks, experiment and ignore fear. As a result, his first venture many years ago, the famous T’Gallant winery put the Mornington Peninsula wine region firmly on the map. It was there, in 1993, they released their first Pinot Grigio and the Aussie Pinot G revolution was underway!
- Liberated by Angels in 2013, Kevin continues along the path less travelled, inspired by winemaking experiences around the globe. For the past twenty years he's travelled Victoria and South Australia looking for special vineyards and uses premium fruit from the Mildura region as well as the Mornington Peninsula in his fabuous wines.
