Few varieties capture both lightness of touch and depth of flavour as well as Pinot Grigio. These are grapes that can express themselves feather-light and pale as crystal, or full bodied and steel tinged. Hugh Hamilton aims at the former, light, brilliant, and fresh. Ideal for days of perfect blue skies.

White pear to peach and a breeze of gum florals. Fresh linen. Lemon curd palate deliciously pink lady laden. Elastic band tang – stretch and snap. Crunchy, complete and satisfying. Fleet footed and all verve. Clarity and class.

The primary block that made this wine sits on a steep slope. The fruit at the base is still clean and ‘just-ripe’ as the top of the hill is colouring up and thinking about being ‘too-ripe’. This split is this blocks strength. Great acidity but with flavour – perfect Pinot Gris.

Food Pairing: If it swims, has fins and scales, and goes glub glub you are onto a winner.
