Risky Business Pinot Gris 2025

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Delightfully expressed and elegantly fragrant with notes of ripe peach, rockmelon, and Nashi pear on the nose. The palate delivers succulent fruit flavours and a rounded mouthfeel, well supported by juicy acidity, offering charming drinking.

From the King Valley in Victoria, fermentation was in stainless steel. The wine did spend time on lees prior to bottling to enhance the complexity and texture. The colour is a near invisible yellow. Still very young, the wine is tight, coiled and quite intense. The nose gives us hints of pears, florals, crisp green apples, a touch of stone fruit and some spicy notes. An impressive and most enjoyable Pinot Gris, there is a touch of crunchy acidity and a lingering finish. A wine of medium length, enjoy this over the next three to five years.

Jeni Port - Halliday Wine Companion

Fermentation in stainless steel tank with aromatic yeasts, oxidative juice handling, no mlf, left on light lees until bottling. Straddles the world of grigio-gris with the energy of the former and the spice pulse of the latter. Lemon-lime green hues. Aromas of honeysuckle, wildflowers, apple, spice and nashi pear. Allows a gentle, cool-climate delicacy to speak, so be careful not to over chill or you will miss that lovely brightness in citrus, pear and ginger spices, delivered with red apple crunch and the liveliest of acidity.
