Cherubino Ad Hoc Pinot Grigio 2025

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Pale straw with a hint of green.
• Aromatics: Lifted notes of peach, pear and lime zest with a touch of white blossom.
• Palate: Fresh and crisp with flavours of apple, pear crumble and citrus pulp. Subtle stone-fruit richness adds texture, balanced by vibrant acidity for a long, minerally finish.

Winemaker’s Note

“2025 delivered another mild, consistent season in Pemberton. Early harvesting preserved the delicate fruit profile and natural acidity that define the Ad Hoc ‘Nitty Gritty’ style – fresh, refined and incredibly drinkable.”

FAQ Wine Terms 🧐

❓ What’s the difference between Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris?
They’re the same grape but different styles – Grigio is lighter, crisper and more mineral; Gris is richer and textural.

❓ Why does Pemberton suit this variety so well?
Its cool forested climate and granite soils allow slow, even ripening with vibrant acidity and refined fruit.

❓ What does “Nitty Gritty” refer to?
It celebrates the uncomplicated enjoyment of a perfectly balanced, no-fuss glass of Pinot Grigio – fresh, bright and down-to-earth.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
