Jagger Pinot Gris by Soho

Pinot Gris Pinot Gris is an easygoing white grape that makes crisp, refreshing wines. Expect flavours like ripe pear, apple, and sometimes a bit of spice or honey, depending on where it’s grown. It’s lighter than Chardonnay but can still have a nice roundness to it. The acidity sits in the middle—not mouth-puckering, but not flat either. Pinot Gris is usually medium-bodied, making it super versatile. It’s handy with lighter food, salads, and anything with a bit of spice. You’ll spot Pinot Gris from France and Italy (where it’s called Pinot Grigio), but also from New Zealand and the US. It’s a solid pick if you want an unfussy, flavourful white.
