The 2025 Onannon Mornington Peninsula Pinot Gris is a textured and expressive cool-climate white that highlights the maritime influence of the Mornington Peninsula. Sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites across the region, it opens with aromas of quince, ripe pear and white blossom, complemented by subtle dried herb and spice notes. Barrel fermentation in older oak adds further depth while preserving the wine's freshness and varietal character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a rounded texture and bright natural acidity. Flavours of pear skin, white plum and orchard fruits are layered with gentle savoury notes and a subtle mineral edge. Natural malolactic fermentation contributes a soft, seamless mouthfeel, while the finish remains fresh, dry and persistent with a delicate stone fruit tang.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Pinot Gris for those who enjoy a more textural and food-friendly style rather than a simple fruit-driven white. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years. Pair with grilled seafood, roast chicken, pork dishes, mushroom risotto or antipasto platters, where its balance of freshness and texture shines.
