The 2025 Hughes & Hughes Pinot Gris is a vibrant Tasmanian Pinot Gris crafted from fruit sourced across the Derwent Valley, Tamar Valley and North West Tasmania. Made in the winery's signature Ramato style, a small portion of the fruit undergoes skin contact while other parcels are fermented in seasoned oak and stainless steel before maturing on lees. This thoughtful approach builds texture and complexity while preserving freshness. The nose is lifted and aromatic, offering ripe pear, white peach and citrus zest layered with honeysuckle, apple skin and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with bright natural acidity and a beautifully textural mouthfeel. Flavours of green apple, pear and citrus are complemented by a gentle phenolic grip, savoury lees complexity and a crisp, refreshing finish. Elegant yet full of character, this is a modern Tasmanian Pinot Gris that balances purity, texture and freshness with effortless drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Hughes & Hughes Pinot Gris is a versatile, food-friendly white that pairs beautifully with garlic prawns, Thai curries, roast chicken, pork belly, seafood pasta or soft goat's cheese. Serve well chilled and enjoy now through 2030 while its vibrant fruit and textural complexity are at their best.
