Tar & Roses Pinot Grigio 2024 (Victoria)

Just announced Pinot Grigio of the Year 2026 by Halliday's Wine Companion - the Tar & Roses Pinot Grigio 2024 from Central Victoria presents a delicate pale white peach hue that immediately hints at its refined character. On the nose, it offers inviting aromas of crisp apple and ripe nashi pears, beautifully complemented by floral honeysuckle and subtle tropical nuances. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with a viscous texture that carries a generous fruit sweetness. Tropical flavours intertwine elegantly with classic stone fruits like peaches and pears, creating complex layers that maintain balance and depth. This wine finishes with a clean, refreshing acidity, making it an excellent choice for those seeking both richness and finesse in a Pinot Grigio.

Pinot Grigio of the Year - Halliday's Wine Companion 2026

"The style is set – from the warm blush colour and lightly spice-fuelled scent to the textural palate – and it's a winner, especially at this price. It brings almost a gris quality with its smooth creaminess elevated in spiced stewed apple, pear, savoury citrus, white peach and spice. A grigio with a little more attitude than most."
