Tasting Notes

Light and crisp with pear, green apple, and subtle citrus notes. A true Pinot Grigio with a dry, refreshing finish and excellent acidity. Perfect as an aperitif, with seafood, or on a warm afternoon. The Italian version captures the essence of this popular white — elegant, approachable, and versatile.

What Equipment Do You Need?

A 23-litre fermentation vessel, airlock, hydrometer, siphon, and 28–30 bottles. New to winemaking? Our wine starter kits bundle all essentials. Always sanitise with VWP or ChemSan for best results.

Upgrading your yeast: for a crisp, clean style like this, try Mangrove Jack's CL23, which keeps crisper whites clean and fresh — a good match for Pinot Grigio.

Fermentation Timeline

Week 1–3: Primary fermentation at 16–18°C for whites (cooler than reds).

Week 4–5: Add finings and allow to clear.

Week 6: Bottle and age for 4–6 weeks before drinking.

Tips for Best Results

  • Whites prefer cooler fermentation at 16–18°C — this preserves aromatic character
  • Pinot Grigio is light and delicate — gentle handling ensures quality
  • Allow wines to clear completely before bottling
  • Drink within 1–2 years while fresh and aromatic
