The 2024 Entropy Wines Pinot Gris is a distinctive Gippsland white from winemaker Ryan Ponsford, sourced from the Willow Grove vineyard in Baw Baw Shire. The site combines red volcanic and grey dermosol soils and is farmed with a strong focus on vineyard expression. The wine shows ripe pear, apple and citrus alongside delicate florals, subtle spice and savoury mineral notes.
On the palate, it is dry and textural with fresh acidity balancing ripe orchard fruit and citrus. Entropy’s minimal-intervention approach, including wild fermentation and generally unfined and unfiltered wines, contributes to a style focused on texture and site character rather than overt fruitiness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Pinot Gris drinkers looking for a more textural and savoury Gippsland expression with fresh fruit and mineral complexity. Best enjoyed well chilled. Ideal with grilled prawns, fresh seafood, roast chicken, pork, mushroom dishes or soft cheeses.
