In 2007 Brown Brothers dumped all 3000 tonnes of Pinot Grigio because of bushfire smoke taint.

Good news is there’s 20,000 dozen of the ’08, the best this northeast Victorian family winery has created in a decade of making this wine.

Smells like freshly cut pears and apples with a hint of spice. There is racy fruit and a touch of sweetness in the mouth. Widely available.
