The nose reveals lifted aromas of pear, green apple, and citrus zest, complemented by delicate notes of white blossom and a hint of fresh almond. The palate is light to medium-bodied and vibrant, showing crisp orchard fruit and subtle stone fruit flavours supported by a gentle textural softness. Refreshing natural acidity and a clean mineral edge provide balance and drive, finishing bright and lively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eYou can find the latest vintage Tasting Note for this wine \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Tasting Note Hungerford Hill Classic 2025 Pinot Grigio\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0480\/6747\/7660\/files\/HungerfordHill_2025_ClassicPinot_Grigio.pdf?v=1773197788\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHere.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message\" style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hungerfordhill.com.au\/pages\/wine-club\" title=\"Wine Club\"\u003eRemember you can become a Wine Club member and receive 30% off all purchases\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hungerford Hill","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":52975484109024,"sku":"7CLHILPGR26h","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0480\/6747\/7660\/files\/ClassicPinotGris-13.png?v=1779858508"}],"url":"https:\/\/hungerfordhill.com.au\/collections\/hilltops-range.oembed","provider":"Hungerford Hill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
