Valle del Re is a celebration of the King Valley’s Italian varieties and a tribute to the passion of the growers and winemakers that call this wine region home. The name itself means “Valley of the King” in Italian.

The nose offers up an abundance of Nashi pear, green apple, citrus skin and ginger root. The vibrant palate displays flavours of Nashi pear, green apple and fresh almonds with subtle white flower and quince notes. The bright acid backbone complements the refined fruit leading to a crisp, balanced finish.

Cool climate styling from Victoria’s King Valley, there’s a vibrant nasal burst of freshly cut Williams pear with a little edge of poached quince as you breathe in a little deeper. The palate has all this  and plenty of zip to go with the flavours, fresh and zingy with a fine, chalky/pithy mouthfeel. A wine with fun and friendly vibes, snacks on the side, laughs as well. PG rated fun. Date: June 2026; Rating: 94 Points; Wine Pilot
