Moppity Lock & Key Pinot Grigio 2025
$35, 12.5%, screwcap, Tumbarumba.
Juicy, apple-driven fruit flavour comes cut with lime juice and lemongrass. This is frisky and well-flavoured with a cool, refreshing feel throughout and very good overall energy. It has a gentle pink-tinge to the colour, almost always a good sign. There’s a smidgen of (appealing) texture here too.
