Bento Mount Benson Pinot Grigio 2025 (Australia)

Description

Dry, Floral, Pear

"Grown near the coastal township of Robe, this wine leans toward a Gris-like profile with bright pear aromas and vibrant fruit. A touch of skin contact (24 hours) adds texture. Bone dry (0.5g RS) with a firm, dry finish" Joelle Thomson

Bright and expressive, this Pinot Grigio opens with notes of nashi pear, white peach and citrus blossom. The palate is fresh yet rounded, with subtle texture, crisp acidity and a clean, dry finish—capturing the elegance of the cool alpine climate.

Inspired by the fast-paced, flavour-packed world of Asian dining, Bento is designed for those lost wine occasions: the BYOs, the shared dishes, the street-food feasts, the noise, the heat, the spontaneity. Hereto reclaim wine’s place at the modern dining table, Bento is designed for the energy and chaos of (real-life/casual) dining, delivering a range of vibrant, delicious wines that everyone will love.

The 2025 vintage in Mount Benson was characterised by a warm and relatively dry growing season, with well-timed rainfall in late spring supporting strong canopy growth and fruit set. Summer brought consistent heat, but cool alpine-influenced nights maintained freshness and acidity—ideal for the region’s aromatic whites and lighter reds.

Harvested in the cool of early morning to preserve aromatics, the fruit was gently pressed and fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel to enhance purity and freshness. A small portion was left on lees post-ferment to build mid-palate texture while retaining the variety’s natural vibrancy.
