ABOUT THE WINE
Tar & Roses is the creation of Don Lewis and Narelle King, a partnership forged over decades of winemaking in Heathcote, Victoria, and abroad. After Don’s experience consulting in Priorat, Spain, the duo launched Tar & Roses in 2006 with the goal of showcasing Italian and Spanish varietals in the diverse terroirs of Central Victoria. Their 2021 Pinot Grigio reflects this vision — vibrant, expressive, and thoughtfully crafted with an emphasis on flavour and finesse.
TASTING NOTES
Sourced from three cool-climate vineyards, this wine offers elegant flavours of fresh peach, pear, and hints of tropical fruit. A brief period of skin contact imparts a delicate pink hue and a subtle spicy, textural edge. Bright, soft, and approachable, this is a Pinot Grigio with genuine complexity and charm — a far cry from the typical mass-market style.
FOOD PAIRING
Perfect with crispy calamari, grilled prawns, or nutty salads with goat cheese or tahini. A lovely alternative to rosé, especially in warm weather or when looking for something with more intrigue than your usual white.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
A world away from the bland standard of most Pinot Grigio, this is vibrant, well-balanced, and utterly enjoyable. An ideal introduction to the new face of Australian white wine.
