The Miceli Iolanda Mornington Peninsula Pinot Grigio 2023 is a beautifully refined cool-climate white crafted in a true Italian-inspired style, showcasing savoury texture, vibrant natural acidity and remarkable varietal purity. Produced on the Mornington Peninsula — one of Australia’s premier cool-climate wine regions — this Pinot Grigio delivers elegance, freshness and food-friendly sophistication that sets it apart from sweeter, fruit-driven styles commonly seen in the Australian market.

Named in honour of the Miceli family’s youngest daughter, Iolanda, this wine reflects both heritage and craftsmanship. Crafted with minimal intervention and without excessive refrigeration or overly protective handling, the winemaking approach allows the grape and region to express themselves naturally, resulting in a Pinot Grigio with character, texture and authenticity.

In the glass, the wine presents with vibrant freshness and a savoury edge, opening with lifted pear, citrus and subtle orchard fruit aromas layered with delicate spice and mineral complexity. The palate is crisp, dry and beautifully structured, delivering lively acidity and long-lasting flavours that flow effortlessly across the finish. Its savoury profile and refined texture give it a distinctly European feel while still retaining the purity and brightness that define premium Mornington Peninsula wines.

Critically acclaimed across multiple leading reviewers, this release earned 94 points from Sam Kim along with 93-point ratings from Campbell Mattinson and Ray Jordan, plus 92 points from Ken Gargett, firmly establishing it as one of Australia’s standout Pinot Grigio releases.

Exceptionally versatile with food, this Pinot Grigio pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, grilled calamari, prawns, sushi, Thai cuisine, antipasto platters, Asian-inspired dishes or light Mediterranean fare, where its crisp acidity and savoury complexity truly shine.
