Wildshark Vineyard, Pinot Gris, Pinot Gris, 2024, Kent

'One-Liner'
Kent-grown Pinot Gris with a bright citrus–tropical lift and a clean, mouth-watering finish.

Tasting Note
Pale straw in the glass. The nose leads with lime and ripe tropical hints – think mango and pineapple. The palate is light to medium in body, fruit-forward yet brisk, with England’s signature acidity giving a crisp, refreshing finish. Serve well chilled.

The Story
Wildshark is an eco-minded Kent vineyard working with classic cool-climate varieties including Pinot Gris. 2024 was a busy harvest – the estate picked five varieties across the season – and the still Pinot Gris aims squarely for bright fruit and refreshing acidity, a style that’s finding a real foothold in England.

Perfect With... (click me for the recipe)
- Fish: Hot-smoked salmon with lemon, dill & new potatoes – the wine’s citrus and tropical accents lift the rich, smoky fish.
- Vegetarian: Pea, mint & lemon risotto – zippy acidity cuts the creamy rice; citrus echoes the wine’s limey notes.
- Vegan: Grilled asparagus, avocado & herb salad with a lemon–almond dressing – fresh greens and citrus pair neatly with the crisp finish.
