2024 Lino Ramble Yo Yo Pinot Grigio, McLaren Vale

Free-run juice fermented cool. The rosy hint to the hue is shared by the nose, with red apple skin and pink talc, along with corella and Williams pears. Pure of feel, with a bolster of fruit richness and a cleanly crisp but not tart finish. Classic stuff done well.

The overarching idea behind Lino Ramble’s range of wines is working with varieties which require minimal inputs in the vineyard and winery. We want our wines to be approachable, medium bodied, structural with loads of texture and have a sense of place given that they are predominantly single vineyard wines

Vibrant, zingy citrus aromas, beautiful crisp zippy palate with classy citrus/lime flavours - a great example of the style, finishes tight with lovely acidity. 

Lino Ramble Yo Yo Pinot Grigio from McLaren Vale is proof that wine can be fun and fabulous at the same time—kind of like a Pinot Grigio in its party dress, ready to boogie. Lino Ramble, known for their adventurous winemaking and quirky labels, has taken the classic Italian grape and given it a McLaren Vale twist. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill, “I’m-just-here-for-the-charcuterie” Pinot Grigio; this one has personality.

Yo Yo Pinot Grigio bounces between fresh and fruity with the enthusiasm of a wine that just learned it’s the weekend. Expect bright aromas of green apple, pear, and a squeeze of citrus, with a cheeky hint of blossom for good measure. On the palate, it’s crisp and zippy, like a summer breeze through your taste buds, with flavors of crunchy apple and a squeeze of lemon that make it impossible not to smile. It’s as refreshing as finding a forgotten ten-dollar bill in your jeans pocket—instant mood booster!

Perfect for any occasion, this wine loves to mingle at picnics, poolside hangouts, or on those “I’m only having one glass” nights that, let’s be honest, might turn into two. Pair it with grilled seafood, fresh salads, or just a second glass because, hey, life’s short!
