Stormy Romance Pinot Grigio, 2021
“Pinot Grigio thrives in the cool of Eden Valley. This fresh dry white is instantly enjoyable. The Comice pear juiciness matches perfectly bright mouth-wateringly refreshing zip. Serve chilled as an aperitif or with oysters and seafood.”

History
Colonel William Light, founder of Adelaide and first Surveyor-General of South Australia, traversed our estate on 13th December 1837, when exploring the north-east of Adelaide. On this historic occasion, he named our town Lyndoch and the surrounding hills Barossa. The Barossa Colonel Light Monument, a life-size bronze statue of Colonel Light on horseback, and the iconic Barossa Manor commemorate the birthplace of the world-famous Barossa wine region on our estate. Generations of our winemakers have dedicated their work to this grand tradition, embodying our heritage of outstanding winemaking in every bottle.
This wine is named after the stormy romance between William Light and his second wife Mary Bennet, the beautiful and wealthy 19-year-old illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Richmond. They met in the London studio of the miniature painter Charlotte Jones and they married on 16th October 1824.
