The Mr Mick Clare Valley Pinot Grigio 2025 reflects the long-standing philosophy of the Mr Mick range — creating approachable, easy-going wines that deliver freshness, balance and genuine drinking pleasure. Inspired by the classic styles of northern Italy, this release showcases how South Australia’s climate and soils can produce Pinot Grigio of remarkable purity and authenticity.

Fruit was harvested at peak flavour maturity from family-owned vineyards in the Riverland, then gently pressed and cold settled before undergoing a steady, cool fermentation over 14 days. This careful process preserves delicate aromatics and varietal definition, allowing the wine’s natural character to shine. Bottled early under screwcap, it retains its vibrant freshness and lifted perfume from first pour to final glass.

In the glass, the 2025 vintage opens with bright aromas of green mango, nashi pear and pineapple, layered with a subtle herbal lift of fresh sage. The palate delivers juicy stone fruit richness balanced by crisp, lingering acidity, creating a refreshing yet textural mouthfeel that feels both lively and polished. Its clean, dry finish and energetic fruit profile capture the essence of classic Italian Pinot Grigio with a distinctly Australian twist.

Light, versatile and effortlessly drinkable, this wine is ideal as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, grilled prawns, calamari, Asian-inspired dishes, spicy noodles, sushi, or light salads. Its freshness also makes it perfect for warm-weather entertaining, casual lunches, and relaxed evenings with friends.

Produced by a legendary Clare Valley winemaker and named in honour of the great K.H. “Mick” Knappstein, this release continues the tradition of delivering outstanding value and consistent quality. As a bargain-priced Pinot Grigio that overdelivers on flavour and finesse, the 2025 vintage stands as one of the most exciting releases in the Mr Mick range to date.
