Haddow + Dineen Grain Of Truth Pinot Gris 2024 from northern Tasmania is a luxurious, textural Pinot Gris grown on white quartz gravel at Yorktown, hand‑picked, whole‑bunch pressed, wild‑yeast barrel fermented and bottled unfined and unfiltered for maximum character.

In the glass, Grain Of Truth Pinot Gris 2024 spills out ripe pear and peach, poached apple, grilled nectarine and pineapple, wild honey, almond and subtle marzipan over a core of quartz‑like minerality and Tassie acidity. It is powerful, opulent and layered yet kept in check by freshness, finishing long, savoury and beautifully balanced.

On the table it is built for roast chicken, richer seafood, creamy pastas, washed‑rind cheeses and autumnal veggie dishes, where its richness, spice and mineral drive cut neatly through sauce and fat. Think of it as a serious, European‑sway Pinot Gris with Tasmanian nerve – a proper statement white for your list.
