Leura Park Estate 25 D’Gris Pinot Gris 2024 from the Bellarine Peninsula is an expressive cool‑climate Gris, built with real detail and generosity from estate‑grown fruit and partial barrel fermentation for extra texture and spice. It shows the fuller “Gris” side of the variety while still finishing fresh and coastal.

The nose is intoxicating – ripe pear, nashi, orchard fruits, orange blossom, nougat and gentle spice all rolling out of the glass. On the palate, 25 D’Gris Pinot Gris 2024 offers great depth of flavour with ripe apple, pear, guava and spice, wrapped in a beautifully balanced, dry‑leaning frame with a saline, long finish and a touch of French oak plushness.

Food‑wise, this Leura Park Estate 25 D’Gris Pinot Gris 2024 is made for richer seafood and white‑meat dishes – think garlic prawns, seared scallops, roast pork with crackling, creamy chicken pastas or mushroom risotto. It’s also superb with soft cheeses and charcuterie, where that saline, textural line cuts through fat and amplifies flavour. With a Melbourne Royal bronze medal in its pocket, it’s a clever choice for anyone wanting a serious, food‑friendly Gris that still drinks easily.
