The T'Gallant Cape Schanck Pinot Grigio 2024 is a reflection of the adventurous spirit that defines both the winery and the Mornington Peninsula. T’Gallant, named after the top sail of square-rigger sailing ships, has long been a pioneer in Australian winemaking, especially for Pinot Gris and Grigio. In the 1990s, when classic varietals dominated, T’Gallant took a bold leap by introducing these varieties, and the Australian wine world embraced them. Now, their Pinot Grigio is a benchmark in cool-climate wine production.

This Pinot Grigio showcases the signature freshness of the Mornington Peninsula, with aromas of freshly cut pears, passionfruit, and citrus, complemented by subtle hints of roasted nuts. On the palate, crisp fruit flavors of pear and citrus are balanced by almond meal textural elements, giving the wine a layered complexity. The cool climate conditions of the region provide a refreshing mineral acidity that lifts the wine, making it a perfect example of balance and finesse.

Produced by the pioneering T’Gallant winery, known for its bold approach to winemaking, this wine continues to impress. The previous vintage was rated 95 points by James Halliday, a testament to the winery's dedication to quality.

This Pinot Grigio pairs beautifully with seafood dishes such as grilled prawns, fresh oysters, or a light seafood pasta. Its crisp acidity also makes it an ideal companion to a fresh goat cheese salad or vegetable risotto.
