The 2024 Cavedon King Valley Pinot Grigio is a fresh and vibrant white wine from King Valley, Victoria, inspired by the crisp, dry Pinot Grigios of Northern Italy while expressing the distinctive character of one of Australia's leading cool-climate wine regions. The nose is bright and aromatic, revealing notes of crisp nashi pear, green apple and citrus alongside delicate floral aromas and subtle mineral freshness. Crafted from vineyards first planted by the Cavedon family in the early 1990s, this wine showcases the purity and lively character of the variety.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with refreshing natural acidity and a clean, finely textured mouthfeel, delivering flavours of crunchy pear, lemon zest and crisp orchard fruit with a subtle mineral edge. Dry and vibrant, it finishes with excellent freshness and balance, making it an approachable and highly food-friendly Pinot Grigio that retains plenty of character.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic everyday Pinot Grigio for customers who enjoy fresh, dry and vibrant whites with bright fruit and crisp acidity. Best enjoyed well chilled over the next 2–4 years, it pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, grilled prawns, seafood pasta, light salads, sushi or antipasto. Its lively, refreshing style also makes it an excellent choice alongside simple Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
