Crisp ~ Delicate ~ Pure Fruit Expression

Sourced from the cool, forest-fringed vineyards of Pemberton, the 2025 Ad Hoc ‘Nitty Gritty’ Pinot Grigio delivers a textbook example of the variety’s poise and freshness. It captures everything great about cool-climate Pinot Grigio – bright acidity, delicate aromatics, and effortless drinkability. It’s crisp, zesty and lively, yet still layered with subtle fruit complexity and texture.
