About the wine
A luscious, generous wine. The silky mouthfeel is complimented by fresh fruit flavours of lime, lemon, pear and apple.
- Calling all lovers of voluptuous and decadent white wines - another glass full? S'il vous plaît! With 30 years of world-wide experience, Kevin is Australia's expert on Pinot G and he's outdone himself with this oh-so French take on this classic white wine.
- Kevin has followed in the footsteps of the French by leaving grapes for his 2016 Pinot Gris on vine for longer than those intended for the Italian Pinot Grigio. This ensured a completely different end product, as the extra time on vine allows Mother Nature to pump in even more nutrients (read: sugar) in to the grape and increase their size.
- Balanced with crisp and refreshing elements, citrus will tickle your taste buds; think lemon, lime, apple and pear. You'll be after a re-fill in no time! As the wine unfolds it's smooth layers in your glass, the only remaining task will be deciding which delicious food pairing makes it sing out the most!

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.
