Sticks Pinot Grigio 2024 from Sticks in Victoria’s Yarra Valley is a zippy, all‑year‑round white, bursting with cool‑climate freshness and made as a crowd‑pleasing, easy‑drinking style that still has a bit of texture and interest. It’s the sort of Pinot Grigio you chill hard and pour generously.

In the glass, Sticks Pinot Grigio 2024 shows white blossom, nashi pear, green apple and a squeeze of grapefruit, with a light mineral and saline thread keeping it bright and focussed. The palate is light‑bodied and vibrant, all crunchy apple and pear with a lip‑smacking, zesty tang and a clean, dry, refreshing finish that invites another sip.

Food‑wise, this is spot‑on with grilled scallops, simple snapper fillets, salt‑and‑pepper squid or a crisp salad loaded with fennel, apple and herbs. It also works a treat with light pasta, seafood risotto or just a plate of antipasti, making Sticks Pinot Grigio 2024 a go‑to option for easy entertaining or mid‑week drinking.
