2025 Erste + Neue Pinot Grigio

A gorgeously rounded Pinot Grigio with a long juicy finish.

In Alto Adige Pinot Grigio ranks as one of the most important varieties and altitude is king. Erste + Neue’s Pinot Grigio comes from some of their highest sites ranging in altitudes up to 800 metres that have an array of different soil types. Picked in late September to retain acidity and freshness, post fermentation the pressed juice spends about 6 months in 110-hectolitre neutral oak and is left on gross less to provide additional texture and palate weight.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Delightful pear and red apple skin aromas mix with faint whiffs of honeysuckle, quince and wet stone. Generous pear, red apple and spicy quince fruits impress with their intensity and textural shape. Delicate honeysuckle and stony mineral elements lie underneath. Fresh acidity with a long juicy finish that’s gorgeously rounded.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
