2025 Punt Road Pinot Gris

About The Wine

Jasmine, nashi pear and red apple. Generous, aromatic and refreshingly bright.

The 2025 growing season was the warmest and driest the Yarra Valley has seen in years. After four consecutive wet seasons, full dams allowed the vines to thrive under careful irrigation. Low disease pressure and an early harvest produced fruit of exceptional quality and richness, resulting in wines with power, precision and length.

Harvested from three blocks of D1V7 Pinot Gris on our Napoleone Vineyard, the fruit was picked slightly early to preserve natural acidity and vibrancy. Pressed hard to capture late-press texture, the wine was fermented partly in tank for freshness and partly in old oak puncheons for depth. Lees stirring built weight and complexity before an early bottling to retain its lively character — a generous, textural expression of our Coldstream vineyard.

About Punt Road

Jarrod Johnson heads a dynamic, progressive young winemaking team at this James Halliday five star-rated winery.

Punt Road Wines stands on historic Yarra Valley land where Swiss immigrant Hubert De Castella first planted vines in 1860, creating wines that gained acclaim across Australia and Europe. This same Coldstream property later became home to the legendary St Hubert's vineyard before the Napoleone family acquired it in 1978.

The Napoleone story began when Joseph migrated from Italy in 1926, eventually reuniting with his family to start as Yarra Valley orchardists in 1948. Today, the third and fourth generations operate 58 hectares of vines alongside heritage apple and pear trees, crafting Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other varietals that honor both the site's remarkable history and the family's enduring commitment to the land.
