Sticks Pinot Grigio 2025 from Sticks in the Yarra Valley is a bright, zippy white that screams summer – pale, pristine and all about crunchy fruit and refreshment in the glass. It leads with white blossom, nashi pear and green apple, backed by grapefruit, lemon peel and a little oyster‑shell lift for extra snap. On the palate this Sticks Pinot Grigio 2025 is light‑bodied, dry and super‑clean, with pear and green apple flavours riding a neat line of crisp acidity and a faint saline twist that keeps you reaching for another sip.

Food‑wise, it’s a no‑brainer with prawns, grilled fish, salt‑and‑pepper squid, fresh oysters and light salads – anything coastal, fresh and simply dressed. It also slots in nicely with sushi, antipasto, soft cheeses and those easy weeknight pastas with olive oil, lemon and herbs.
