French or Italian, different wines for different styles........
Gris and Grigio are well and truly holding their place in the popularity stakes, and Oakdene offers one of each kind, both outstanding representations of their intended style.
It is so easy to be confused by the differences in the two as they come from the same grape variety, but they are wines made in two very different styles!
Pinot Gris, picked at the later end of harvest, tends to be more full-bodied, richer, spicier, and more viscous in texture. In our case (with the use of some French oak) tends to have greater cellaring and ageing potential. The immensely popular, Italian style Pinot Grigio, is picked early to retain acidity and fresh fruit-driven characters is typically lighter-bodied, crisp, fresh, with vibrant nashi pear and floral aromas.
Both available online and in the cellar door. Don't forget to log in if you are a Wine Club member!

2019 Oakdene Single Vineyard Ly Ly Pinot Gris 94 points, Ned Goodwin - Halliday Wine Companion 'This mid-weighted gris has been treated with as much love and care as any in the land. Oak, nicely worked into the fray, imparts textural detail, while conferring a structural authority to riffs of bitter almond, marzipan, baking spice and ripe apple. Long, pointed and intense of flavour.' $28 bottle
