Leo The Rooster Pinot Grigio 2024 from South East Australia is made as a clean, refreshing, crowd‑pleasing white, sourced from several wineries to keep the style bright, consistent and good value. In the glass, expect light pear, apple and citrus rather than anything too aromatic or oily, sitting firmly in the easy, Italian‑inspired camp.

The palate is light bodied, crisp and dry, with crunchy green apple, nashi pear and a squeeze of lemon over a brisk acid line that makes it very drinkable and food friendly. It is built for chilling hard and pouring generously, more about refreshment and simplicity than complexity, and a reliable option by the glass.

Leo The Rooster Pinot Grigio is a natural match for scallops, prawns, simple grilled fish, salads or a bowl of chips at the pub, where its dryness, citrusy snap and gentle pear notes work neatly alongside salt and light seafood dishes.
