Ad Hoc Nitty Gritty Pinot Grigio 2025
Ad Hoc Nitty Gritty is a crisp, cool-climate Pinot Grigio from Pemberton in Western Australia, one of the country's most exciting cool-climate wine regions. Fresh, aromatic, and beautifully precise, it delivers classic Pinot Grigio character with a distinctly Australian sense of purity and drinkability. A standout white wine from our Australian Wines collection. Why You'll Love It Pemberton sits in the far south-west of Western Australia, where the cool maritime climate and ancient karri forest soils produce white wines of exceptional freshness and precision. Ad Hoc is the approachable, everyday label from Woodlands Wines, and Nitty Gritty is a textbook example of what cool-climate Pinot Grigio can achieve in Australia: lifted aromatics, crunchy acidity, and a long, precise finish that makes it endlessly food-friendly and genuinely hard to put down. Vineyard & Production Sourced from Pemberton in Western Australia, where the cool climate and well-drained soils produce grapes of natural freshness and aromatic intensity. The wine is crafted to preserve the variety's delicate fruit character and bright acidity, with a clean, precise winemaking approach that lets the cool-climate terroir speak clearly. Tasting Notes Pale straw in colour with a faint green hue. The nose is lifted and aromatic with pear, red apple, and lime zest, complemented by subtle notes of white blossom, honeysuckle, and a touch of musk. On the palate, it is fresh and lively with flavours of pear, green apple, and citrus, a fine mineral thread, and hints of dried herbs. Light-bodied yet textural, with crunchy acidity and a long, precise finish with lingering citrus, pear skin, and a subtle saline edge. Perfect Pairings Perfect with seafood, oysters, prawns, and fresh salads. Also excellent alongside light pasta, Asian dishes, goat's cheese, and grilled fish. The Blend 100% Pinot Grigio
La Val Orballo Rías Baixas Albariño (140cl) 2023
Orballo Albariño is a vibrant and expressive white wine from the O Rosal subregion of Rías Baixas in northwestern Spain. Bursting with citrus, white fruit and floral aromas, complemented by subtle saline and mineral notes, this wine reflects the unique coastal terroir where Atlantic influences and careful vineyard management produce fresh, aromatic whites of remarkable precision. Why You'll Love It This is Rías Baixas Albariño at its finest—fresh, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. Crafted exclusively from estate-grown grapes in the O Rosal subregion, Orballo showcases the distinctive coastal character of this celebrated Spanish white wine region. The wine is aged for six months on lees in stainless steel, six months in concrete egg, and six months in ceramic tanks to enhance texture and complexity, resulting in a wine with exceptional depth and minerality. Vineyard & Production Grapes are grown in the estate's own vineyards in O Rosal, planted on well-drained soils that benefit from cooling Atlantic breezes. Meticulous vineyard management ensures optimal ripeness and aromatic intensity. Hand-harvested in 20 kg cases, grapes undergo a 6-hour cold maceration at 10°C, followed by gentle pressing. Fermentation occurs naturally in 5,000-litre stainless steel tanks over 2–3 weeks at 16°C. The wine is then aged for six months on its lees in stainless steel, six months in concrete egg, and six months in ceramic tanks. Tasting Notes This fresh and aromatic Albariño opens with notes of citrus, pear and apricot, layered with delicate floral and saline nuances. The palate is medium-bodied and fruit-driven, showing flavours of pear and apricot with vibrant acidity. The finish is long, crisp and mineral-driven with a distinctive saline character. Perfect Pairings A versatile food wine, perfect with seafood, grilled fish, fresh cheeses, foie gras, chicken, rice dishes, or pasta. Serve chilled at 12°C. Also excellent with shellfish and coastal cuisine. The Blend 100% Albariño
