Kings' Creed live by their creed to craft small batch wines of quality with bold character. The Adelaide Hills is located in the Mount Lofty Ranges, east of Adelaide. Its diversity in terms of altitude, climate and soil helps it produce its distinctive cool climate wines. Here, Ben Riggs sources the finest Pinot Grigio fruit to make a wine loaded with crisp, juicy just ripe pear with a touch of citrus. As winemaker Ben Riggs says, "2021 vintage was one of the greats. Excellent winter/spring rainfall, sunny warm spring followed by one of the mildest summers on record with only one day over 36 and beautiful mild evenings. Whites are incredibly fragrant, aromatic with delicious fresh acidity and lovely fleshy fruit palates."

Generous bouquet of white florals, lychee and rosewater. A generous palate with bright acidity and a pithy texture comes with flavours of nashi pear and rosewater with some pretty confected notes. A light bodied fruity aromatic style on the dry end of the scale. Clear pale straw. White flowers, lychee and freshly cut pear with some sweet musk flavours. Bright and crisp acid, but with generous mouthfeel to balance. The wine has a pithy texture with flavours of nashi pear, lychee and rosewater.

This crisp Pinot Gris shows fresh nashi pear flavours with hints of jasmine, a delicate textural palate and zesty finish.
