The 2025 Protero Pinot Grigio is a distinctive Adelaide Hills white wine created by Stephen Pannell, blending Pinot Grigio with small portions of Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero to add extra texture and complexity. This cool-climate wine offers a fresh and contemporary take on Pinot Grigio, with lifted aromas of Nashi pear, grapefruit, citrus zest and delicate floral notes, alongside hints of fennel and mineral freshness.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and an energetic, textural mouthfeel. Flavours of pear, crisp apple and citrus are layered with subtle floral characters and a gentle mineral edge, creating a wine that is both refreshing and intriguingly complex. The finish is clean, dry and persistent, with lingering citrus and orchard fruit notes.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy Pinot Grigio with a little more depth and texture than the traditional style. Bright, refreshing and highly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, grilled prawns, sushi, light pasta dishes and antipasto. Best enjoyed young and well chilled over the next 1–3 years while its vibrant fruit and freshness are at their peak.
