Parish Vineyards 2024 Pinot Gris

Tasmania may be best known for sparkling wines, pinot noir and chardonnay, but it also a source of excellent cool-climate rieslings and pinots gris that are floral and zesty. This is a recent release from the team behind the Jansz sparkling labels, using fruit from small vineyards dotted around the Apple Isle. This comes from a vineyard at Evandale, near Launceston Airport. It is deliciously refreshing, with lifted pear notes and bright acidity. Its sibling, a 2024 riesling from Sorrel, east of Hobart, is equally impressive. We paired the PG with a post-Christmas turkey biriyani, but it could also go well with seafood, poultry dishes or summer picnics. $36.
