The 2024 Troppo Pinot Gris is a vibrant, textural white sourced from a cool-climate vineyard in Eden Valley and crafted by Brendan and Laura Carter of Troppo with their signature minimal intervention philosophy. A small amount of skin contact and a slow, extended fermentation build gentle texture while preserving freshness and drinkability. The nose is bright and expressive, offering aromas of nashi pear, nectarine and green apple layered with citrus blossom, a hint of fresh tomato leaf and delicate floral notes, creating a wine that is both lively and intriguingly savoury.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp natural acidity and a beautifully supple texture. Juicy orchard fruit and citrus flavours are complemented by subtle savoury complexity and a refreshing mineral edge, leading to a clean, dry finish with excellent balance and energy. Fresh, approachable and effortlessly drinkable, this is a modern Australian Pinot Gris made for relaxed enjoyment while retaining plenty of character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Troppo Pinot Gris is a fresh, vibrant and textural white that over-delivers on flavour and drinkability. Perfect with grilled prawns, fresh salads, roast chicken, pork, sushi or soft cheeses, it's equally at home as an aperitif on a warm afternoon. Enjoy now through 2028.
