Pepper Tree Black Label Limited Release Pinot Gris 2025

It's the balance that makes the 2025 Pepper Tree Black Label Pinot Gris stand out. It has flavour and texture, but still feels light on its feet.

The first sip is bright and clean. Think ripe pear and fresh apple. Then softer notes come through - white peach, a little ginger spice, and a gentle touch of honey that sits quietly at the end.

It’s all held together by crisp acidity that keeps everything fresh. The kind of wine where the glass empties without you noticing.

Pepper Tree has always taken Pinot Gris seriously. This wine receives the same Black Label treatment given to their flagship varieties. Careful work in the vineyard. Small parcel selection. Attention at every step.

The result is a Pinot Gris with real shape and depth. Bright fruit, soft texture and a cool-climate edge that comes from Wrattonbully.

Since Jim Chatto joined as consultant winemaker, the wine has built a quiet following. People who buy it once tend to come back each vintage. Production stays small and the new release rarely sits around for long.

But what makes this wine special isn’t just the winemaking. It’s where it fits into real life.

It’s the bottle you open on a warm Friday evening after work, when you want something refreshing but still interesting.

It’s the wine that sits on the table during a long lunch that slowly turns into the afternoon.

It’s the one you bring to a friend’s place because you know it will please everyone without needing a long explanation.

And it’s the bottle that makes people stop mid-sip and ask what they’re drinking.

At $40, it already drinks well above its weight. At our everyday discounted price, it’s simply one of the best value Pinot Gris you’re likely to find.

If you already know the wine, you’ll understand why people wait for each vintage. If you don’t, this is a very good place to start.
