Tomfoolery Pinot Gris 2024

Tomfoolery Pinot Gris 2024 is a fresh and vibrant expression of the variety, crafted by the boutique Barossa Valley winery Tomfoolery. Known for their minimal-intervention approach and focus on terroir-driven wines, Tomfoolery’s Pinot Gris showcases the best qualities of this versatile grape. The 2024 vintage reflects the winery's commitment to producing bright, fruit-forward wines with lively acidity and texture. While Barossa is better known for bold reds, this Pinot Gris offers a refreshing contrast, highlighting its crispness and aromatic complexity.

Appearance: Pale straw with hints of green, reflecting the wine’s youth and freshness.

Aroma: The nose is fragrant and lively, with aromas of pear, green apple, and white peach, complemented by delicate floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle. Subtle hints of citrus zest and a touch of wet stone minerality add complexity to the bouquet.

Taste: Light to medium-bodied, the palate bursts with fresh flavours of pear, green apple, and nectarine, balanced by a refreshing, zesty acidity. A gentle texture and hints of spice and citrus keep the wine vibrant, while a clean, mineral backbone provides structure and depth.

Finish: Crisp and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus and pear, finishing on a clean, bright, and slightly savoury edge.

Food Pairings: This Pinot Gris pairs wonderfully with fresh seafood like oysters or prawns, where its acidity and minerality complement the briny flavours. It also works beautifully with light salads or grilled vegetables, as the wine’s freshness enhances the natural flavours of the dish.
