Dr. Edge ‘Ambrosia’ Pinot Gris 2025 from Tasmania’s Tamar Valley is an energetic, skinsy amber wine that takes Pinot Gris and a dash of Schönburger and turns them into a wildly aromatic, textural experience in the glass. Dr. Edge Ambrosia Pinot Gris spends about a week on skins, then is pressed to tank and bottled unfined and unfiltered, so you get all the hazy, orange‑wine goodness without heaviness.

In the glass it’s packed with honey, lychee, elderflower, white peach and cantaloupe, wrapped around a bright, chalky, gently tannic palate that finishes tangy and refreshingly savoury rather than sweet. The grip is perfectly judged – enough to handle flavourful food, but still smashable on its own straight out of the esky on a warm evening.

For food pairings, lean into spice and umami: think fragrant Thai or Vietnamese, Korean fried chicken, miso‑glazed salmon, rich roast chook or a grazing table of washed‑rind and soft cheeses where that phenolic crunch and acidity slice through the fat. It is a cracking amber option for adventurous Pinot Gris drinkers and orange‑wine lovers alike.
