With its gently textured palate, subtle spice and orchard fruit character, Pinot Gris continues to attract a growing following among white wine drinkers seeking flavour and versatility. Hailing originally from France’s Alsace region, this variety has found a firm footing in Australia’s cool-climate zones, where it expresses both richness and freshness in equal measure. Whether you're after a generous, food-friendly white or a vibrant glass for relaxed sipping, Cloudwine’s curated Pinot Gris collection offers something for every palate.
Read MorePinot Gris is known for its fuller body, silky texture, and layered notes of pear, baked apple, spice, and almond. While genetically the same grape as Pinot Grigio, the difference in name often signals a difference in style. The gris interpretation typically shows more weight and aromatic complexity, compared to the zippy, citrus-led grigio approach. In Australia, regions like the Adelaide Hills, Tasmania, Gippsland, and Mornington Peninsula produce excellent examples that balance ripeness with freshness, which is ideal for those who enjoy white wines with substance and finesse.
The Cloudwine Pinot Gris range includes carefully chosen bottles from premium Australian wineries and select international producers. This diverse selection reflects the breadth of styles available—from bright, fruit-driven releases to more structured, textural examples aged on lees.
From Tasmania, the Stefano Lubiana Biodynamic Pinot Gris 2022 is a standout. Certified biodynamic, it offers beautiful balance between richness and drive, with white nectarine, honeysuckle and a savoury edge.
In Victoria, the Bellvale Gippsland Pinot Gris 2023 brings layered stone fruit and gentle spice with a more evolved texture, ideal for those who appreciate complexity and bottle age.
The Little Giant Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris 2022 provides a vibrant and easy-drinking introduction to the variety, showing fresh pear, apple blossom and a refreshing finish.
When selecting the right Pinot Gris, think about what you’ll be pairing it with and how you enjoy your white wines. If you’re serving seafood, grilled prawns or a fresh goat’s cheese salad, reach for something leaner and more fruit-forward; Little Giant offers a clean, uncomplicated style. Creamy pasta, roast chicken or pork belly benefit from a richer, more textural expression such as Bellvale or Stefano Lubiana, whose roundness and depth bring out the best in hearty or spiced dishes.
Perfect for entertaining, casual dinners or spring aperitifs, pinot gris suits a range of settings. It’s also a thoughtful option for those who enjoy fuller-bodied white wines but want something more aromatic and lifted than a traditional chardonnay wine.
As one of Australia’s most trusted independent wine merchants, Cloudwine offers a carefully curated range of boutique and premium producers across red wine, white wine, sparkling wine, rose wine, pinot noir, shiraz wine, and beyond. Our team is passionate about finding the best bottles to suit any occasion, palate or budget, and we work closely with producers to bring you authentic wines with provenance.

Though genetically identical, Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio represent different winemaking styles. Gris tends to be fuller, rounder and more complex, while Grigio is typically lighter, crisp and citrus-focused.
This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, creamy pastas, roast pork, chicken, spicy Asian dishes and soft cheeses. Its versatility makes it a go-to for both light and rich meals.
Yes. For best results, serve Pinot Gris lightly chilled around 8–10°C. This allows the fruit and spice notes to shine without muting its texture.
Most Pinot Gris is made for early to mid-term drinking, within 2–5 years. Some fuller-bodied or barrel-aged examples can develop added complexity with time.
