2016 Galli Artigiano Pinot Grigio, Sunbury

"10 hours skin contact in the press, wild-fermented, 90% tank, 10% barrel. Has well above average depth for grigio, with ripe citrus, pear and apple flavours, fresh acidity in high, but balanced, relief."

James Halliday Wine Companion

A fresh white wine showing melon, lemon and musk flavours with a hint of almond. A stylish modern white wine for early enjoyment. Pale in colour, this wine exhibits aromas of melon, lemon and grapefruit. It is a soft textured wine which finishes clean and fresh.

Galli Estate was the vision of Tuscan born Lorenzo Galli who came to Australia in the 1950’s. It was moving full circle for Lorenzo, whose family had made wine in Italy for generations.

Two vineyard sites were carefully selected, in the Heathcote and Sunbury wine regions of Victoria. Each was planted with grape varieties that ideally suited their individual soils and climate.

The rich red volcanic soils of Sunbury and the famous Cambrian soils of Heathcote were fundamental to Lorenzo’s dream. They are the key to wines that honestly reflect their origins and bring pleasure to those that share them.

Galli adopts principles of organinc viticulture through the use of fertigation, natural fertilisers & minimal spraying across both our vineyards. This together with our utilisation of 100% recycled water for the Sunbury vineyard reinforces our commitment to sustainable vineyard practices.

These practices are also carried out in the winery with a more minimal approach to the winemaking through the adaptation of traditional methods focused on the use of indigenous yeasts. We also practice racking on the new moon & minimal filtration for our small batch bespoke clonal selection of Premium & Riserva wines.
