2025 Mayer Bloody Hill Villages Healesville Pinot Gris 750ml

Overview

The 2025 Mayer Bloody Hill Villages Healesville Pinot Gris is a bright, aromatic Yarra Valley white from Mayer's Bloody Hill Villages range. Sourced from Healesville, it offers a crisp and textural expression of Pinot Gris, with ripe pear, green apple, spice and chalky freshness.

Fermented and matured in neutral oak, this is a vivid, food-friendly Pinot Gris that balances aromatic lift with texture, acidity and a long, clean finish.
