Polperro Pinot Gris 2024 from Sam Coverdale’s Polperro estate on the Mornington Peninsula is a seriously impressive, maritime‑charged Gris – all precision, texture and salty freshness in the glass. This 2024 Polperro Estate Pinot Gris pulls fruit from elevated estate vineyards, giving long ripening and naturally bright acidity that keep the wine tight and elegant. It is a polished, restaurant‑ready white that still feels effortless to drink.

On the nose, expect pear, sea spray, Asian broth, fresh summer herbs and grassy aromatics, with hints of nuts, white flowers and lemon/mandarin peel weaving through. The palate is focused and mineral, layered with pithy pear, orchard fruits, citrus and a touch of praline and almond meal, wrapped in a gently silky, textural frame. There is a fine, saline line of acidity that tapers the palate neatly, leaving a dry, refreshing finish that invites another sip.

Food‑wise, 2024 Polperro Pinot Gris is spot‑on with Coffin Bay oysters, kingfish crudo, garfish or salt‑and‑pepper squid, playing beautifully to that sea‑spray and mineral edge. It will also shine with Vietnamese pork vermicelli, herby roast chicken, creamy seafood pasta or a soft‑rind cheese and stone‑fruit platter on a warm evening. For midweek, pour this Polperro Pinot Gris 2024 alongside miso‑roasted veggies or a citrus‑dressed salad and watch the bottle disappear around the table.
