Sonnen Tasmanian Pinot Gris 2024
Sonnen Pinot Gris is a vibrant Tasmanian wine with a textured, aromatic profile. It showcases notes of ripe pear, citrus zest, and white florals, balanced by a subtle spice. A portion undergoes skin contact, adding depth and a gentle tannic grip. The palate is fresh and lively, with crisp acidity and a lingering mineral finish. Crafted with minimal intervention, it reflects Tasmania’s cool-climate elegance.

About Sonnen Wines
Sonnen Wines is a boutique winery in Tasmania, founded in 2020 by winemaker Luke Andree. After an early interest in wine led him from physiotherapy studies to winemaking at Charles Sturt University, Luke honed his craft at prestigious wineries like Stefano Lubiana, Moorilla Estate, and Mac Forbes, with an influential stint in Germany at Weingut Melsheimer. Luke produces small-batch, minimal-intervention wines under the Sonnen label, focusing on Tasmania’s unique terroir.
Sonnen’s portfolio includes Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir, crafted with techniques like skin contact fermentation for added complexity. The 2024 Blanc, for example, is made from Tamar Valley Pinot Gris with a portion left on skins. Luke also serves as assistant winemaker at Pressing Matters in the Coal River Valley, collaborating with Samantha Connew from Stargazer Wines. His dedication to authentic, expressive Tasmanian wines has earned Sonnen a growing reputation among wine enthusiasts.
