Pinot Grigio 2021 – Black Market Deal #39520
- Fresh, juicy
- Adelaide Hills
Here’s an old fave of ours back at last. It’s been a few vintages since we’ve gotten our hands on this. Better late than never! Jasmine and citrus on the nose with a palate of nectarine, citrus and apricot. Bright, lifted and refreshing...what more do you need from your grigio? How about the teeny-tiniest touch of sweetness on the finish to leave you thirsting for more? Well it’s got that as well. Welcome back, old friend.

What is a Black Market deal?
Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
It’s cool, we get it, you want to know absolutely everything about this wine. Well here you go, go nuts.

Region
Adelaide Hills
Don't kid yourselves, the Adelaide Hills are bigger and much more diverse than they seem. It stretches over 80km from the Barossa Valley in the North to McLaren Vale in the South. The area is so variable that small pockets such as Piccadilly and Longwood can only ripen marginal such as Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, whereas other specific areas are perfect for peppery Shiraz and ballsy Cabernet. A healthy mix of experienced hands and young hipsters ensure the region stays at the cutting edge of the industry. Natural wines, and new European varieties including Nebbiolo and Gruner Veltliner are some of the more recent highlights to keep an eye out for.
