The Alpine and King Valleys are national leaders for producing delicious grigio. It’s likely thanks to all the Italian influence up there. There’s more Italian surnames floating around those parts than in The Godfather. So really, you’d expect them to know what they’re doing with pinot grigio.

This’ll keep you cool and refreshed on the hottest of days. It’ll please everyone from Auntie Karen to your grigio-guzzling bestie. Don’t turn your nose up at a great wine doing great work, even if it is as ludicrously low priced as this. Trust in this great value vino. It’ll repay you in flavour, every damn day.

Steely and tart south Aussie gris. Vibrant stone fruit and citrus on the back of bristling acidity. Gris sometimes gets relegated to the warmer months alone, and while it’s well and truly at home under the brolly at the beach or in the back yard, there’s much more this wine offers. This has zesty lemon and green apple at its core, but there is plushness and texture flanking that freshness. Beautifully balanced and multifaceted, this versatile gris will hit the spot year-round.

Fiano is getting a bit of a name for itself, and this is one of the makers helping it do so. It tends to be fine-boned and fresh with citrus and fresh herbs featuring front and centre. Sometimes it can go a bit far into the pithy side of citrus, but good producers wrangle fiano’s potential dark side and create some very fine, delicate white wine. A few years to mellow in bottle has certainly given this one some mighty character, bringing out the ripe, floral characters tenfold. What a ripper.
