The best pinot grigio in Australia

By The Tasting Team

18 Aug, 2026

The Tar & Roses Pinot Grigio 2025 has been named the best pinot grigio in Australia.

The Halliday Wine Companion Awards celebrate the best wines in Australia – as chosen by the Halliday Tasting Team. Below, you'll find Australia's best pinot gris/grigio wines, along with their scores. Members can also click through to find each wine's detailed review.

But before you dive into the exhaustive list of Australia's best pinot gris/grigio, you can get to know the current winner of our Pinot Grigio of the Year award – the 2025 Pinot Grigio from Tar & Roses.

"With each passing year, the quality of Pinot Gris/Grigio submissions grows (as do the many and varied styles produced), and this category has firmly cemented its place on these pages. With a back-to-back win, we celebrate Victoria’s Tar & Roses Pinot Grigio once again." – Katrina Butler

Tar & Roses Pinot Grigio 2025

Blockquote Section Icon
Grigio gets serious and what a treat. Strolls the border of grigio-gris territory with aplomb, bringing the flavour intensity of the latter with the zippiness and freshness of the former. Blush hues, lively aromas of fresh-cut red apple, stewed and spiced apple, pear, peach, citrus skin and a light spice. Beautifully composed, lightly textural and delivered in crunchy fresh acidity. Tired of grigio? Think again. – Jeni Port
