Stony Cape Pinot Grigio is a crisp, easygoing white wine made from the Pinot Grigio grape in South Africa. With a balanced dry character and a light-bodied profile, it’s designed for bright, everyday drinking that puts fresh fruit and clean acidity in the spotlight.
On the palate this wine presents a lively interplay of citrus and orchard fruit, supported by a subtle mineral thread that keeps the finish focused and refreshing. The moderate alcohol level of 12.5% helps preserve a sense of lift and drinkability without overpowering delicate flavours.
Serve slightly chilled to bring forward its aromatic detail and crisp texture. The wine’s restrained weight and clear acidity make it versatile at the table and approachable on its own as a light, social pour.
Friendly and modern in style, this Pinot Grigio is a straightforward expression of the grape: clean, uncomplicated and tuned to active, food-first occasions.
Tasting notes and structure
Color is typically a pale straw with faint green highlights, signaling youth and freshness.
Aromas lean toward green apple, pear and subtle citrus peel, with delicate floral hints that lift the bouquet.
On entry the palate is crisp and light-bodied, delivering juicy fruit flavours framed by brisk acidity.
The mid-palate is neat rather than heavy, showing a mineral or saline edge that lengthens the finish.
Overall balance favors clarity and freshness, with a clean, dry finish that invites another sip.
Food pairings and serving
Serve at around 7 °C to best reveal aromatic detail and preserve a cool, refreshing mouthfeel.
Pair with shellfish such as clams, mussels, scallops and oysters for a classic seafood match that highlights the wine’s saline notes.
Lean fish and light seafood preparations work well, as do vegetarian salads, fresh cheeses and mild antipasti or tapas.
For more robust flavours, try it alongside pork dishes, mushroom-focused plates or moderately spicy foods where the wine’s acidity can cut through richness.
Its light body and dry style also make it suitable as an aperitif or for casual gatherings where balanced, food-friendly white wine is desired.
