2024 Primo Estate Joseph Pinot Grigio dÉlena, Adelaide Hills

A serious take on pinot grigio with associated texture, medium-bodied intensity, great volume of perfume and an overall savouriness underlying. Quite strict in the palate with chalky pucker ongoing, brown-skinned pear scents and flavours, some rosewater florals going on too, licks of grilled lime, juniper, white pepper and mandarin. It's got complexity, drive and deliciousness on its side. Looks like classically styled, Australian, top-tier grigio has made its mark.

An elegant cool climate Pinot Grigio. Vibrant apple and pear aromatics with delicious mineral notes on the palate.

Joe Grilli, our owner and winemaker, named his Pinot Grigio 'd’Elena'. He planted his single hectare of Pinot Grigio vines the week his daughter Elena was born in 1998.

We handpick the fruit and press it gently before fermentation in stainless steel. We bottle the wine early to preserve its delicate fruit characters.

The d'Elena offers fresh citrus fruit acidity and light pear fruit. This wine's natural balance and savoury minerality make it perfect for seafood and light meats.
