Overview

The 2025 Punt Road Pinot Gris is a fresh, vibrant expression from the Yarra Valley, crafted to highlight purity of fruit, gentle texture, and cool-climate elegance. It captures the estate’s focus on balance and drinkability, offering a crisp and modern interpretation of Pinot Gris.

Vineyard and Winemaking

Sourced from mature Yarra Valley vineyards, the fruit was harvested in the cool early hours to retain natural acidity and aromatics. Gentle pressing and cool stainless-steel fermentation preserved clarity and freshness. A short period on fine lees added subtle texture and roundness without compromising the wine’s bright, lifted style.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of pear, white nectarine, and citrus blossom rise from the glass, supported by hints of apple skin and soft spice. The palate is crisp and finely textured, showing juicy pear and stone fruit balanced by refreshing acidity. The finish is clean, dry, and delicately mineral.

Style and Character

Light, pure, and effortlessly enjoyable, the 2025 Pinot Gris reflects Punt Road’s modern Yarra Valley style — fresh fruit expression with subtle complexity and a gentle, rounded mouthfeel.

Cellaring and Pairing

Best enjoyed young for maximum vibrancy over the next 2–3 years. Ideal with seafood salads, grilled prawns, sushi, light pasta dishes, or soft cheeses.
