The 2026 Yabby Lake Pinot Gris is an elegant Australian white wine produced by Yabby Lake Vineyard in Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, a cool-climate region renowned for its refined and expressive wines. Crafted from Pinot Gris, this wine reflects the region's maritime influences and moderate growing conditions, which encourage vibrant fruit flavours and balanced acidity. Its anticipated aromatic profile offers fresh pear, crisp green apple, white peach and ripe nectarine, complemented by delicate notes of citrus blossom, honeysuckle and subtle spice. The combination of juicy orchard fruit and floral freshness creates an inviting expression of Mornington Peninsula Pinot Gris.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with a smooth, gently rounded texture and refreshing acidity. Flavours of ripe pear, yellow apple, white peach and lemon zest unfold alongside hints of fresh melon, ginger and delicate mineral notes. Its generous fruit character is balanced by lively citrus freshness, creating a harmonious Pinot Gris with appealing texture and elegance. The finish is dry to subtly off-dry in impression, leaving lingering notes of orchard fruit, citrus peel and gentle spice.
