Allegiance Wines Emily Jane Pinot Grigio 2026
AU$35, 12% alcohol, screwcap, Orange wine region.
Lively flavours of pear and apple run into perfumed notes of lychee, honey and stonefruit. This is a bright, energetic wine with the flavour to match; it works a treat. High fruit, high energy, high fun.
