Cleanskin Pinot Grigio 2025 | King Valley

Winemaking Notes

Pinot Grigio is harvested early in the season to achieve its distinctive light floral fruit flavours with good natural acidity. The juice is handled oxidatively to naturally remove any colour and unwanted tannins prior to settling and racking, then fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve fruit flavours, followed by a short maturation period on lees during autumn and winter before bottling in spring.

Producer History

This Cleanskin Pinot Grigio comes from a family-owned estate set high above the King Valley in Victoria’s High Country — a winery with roots going back to 1980, when the first vines were planted by a family with Italian heritage and a deep connection to the land. Beginning with Italian varietals, the estate steadily expanded its vineyards to help shape the King Valley’s now well-established reputation for Mediterranean grape varieties grown in cool climate conditions.

The winemaker has guided every vintage since 1999, bringing an intuitive, considered approach focused on expressing the land, the season, and the character of the Upper King Valley. High altitude vineyards, warm days, cool nights, and long autumns allow fruit to ripen slowly — building the depth, balance, and distinct cool-climate character that defines the estate’s wines. The original vineyard, planted in 1980, was joined by a second site in 1992, with select grower partnerships across the valley enriching the range further.
