Our take

What we make of this bottle

Our September 2026 checks found a price between $7.99 and $11.99, which puts it among the least expensive whites we track. The number of shopper ratings so far is 1. The average is 5 out of five. That is a very thin crowd, so read the average as one person's opinion rather than a settled verdict.

Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are two names for the same white grape, and official guides say the spelling usually signals a style: Grigio points to a lighter, crisper wine, Gris to something rounder. Those same guides describe pear, apple and citrus in the glass. If the shelf offers both spellings, the Grigio wording points you toward the crisper style. Casella Family Brands, the family company behind the label, dates Yellow Tail's launch to 2001 from its home in Yenda, New South Wales.

The producer's own page for this bottle matches the crisper style the Grigio name promises: it calls the wine “Outgoing with a fresh and zesty outlook”, with an aroma of “pear, hints of red apples and kiwi fruit” and a flavor “bursting with red apple, pear and passionfruit”, at 11.5 percent alcohol and suggested alongside Asian-inspired food. The brand's FAQ page adds that a 100-milliliter serving carries 108 calories and 1.60 grams of sugar, and confirms this bottle as vegan-friendly.

Our call: it suits a shopper who wants a crisp Pinot Grigio priced among the least expensive whites we track, confirmed vegan-friendly by the brand's own FAQ, with a producer page that names the alcohol level and nutrition count in full. Pass if you want more than one voice behind the score; a single shopper rating is on our record so far, a start rather than a track record.

Region guideAustralia

A little background helps this bottle make sense.

Getting to know Australia.

An Australian label establishes country origin but covers many different vineyard settings. The named region, when present, is needed before attaching local climate or soil detail.

The place

What the name means

Australia is a protected national wine geographical indication. The official register also contains narrower state, zone, region and subregion names.

Weather

How grapes grow here

Australian wine regions range from cool maritime and high-elevation sites to warm inland districts. The country name cannot describe one growing season or temperature pattern.

Soil

What lies under the vines

Ancient weathered ground, limestone, sand, clay, gravel and alluvial soils occur across the registered regions. No single soil profile follows from an Australia-only label.

How large the region is

Wine regions
Wine Australia reports about 65 wine-growing regions.
Growers
The national sector includes about 6,000 grape growers.

Places within the region

Registered places
The Wine Australia register separates the national GI from states, zones, regions and subregions.
What to check next
Look for a place such as Barossa Valley, Margaret River, Riverland or Tasmania before adding regional detail.
Grape guidePinot Gris and Pinot Grigio

The grape name gives context. It is not a review of this bottle.

Getting to know Pinot Grigio.

Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are two names for the same white grape. The label wording often signals a style choice, but it does not create a different grape.

Category guide

What to expect in the glass

Pinot Grigio is often used for a lighter, crisper style, while Pinot Gris can point to more body and texture. Official guides describe pear, apple, citrus and stone fruit, with sweetness ranging from dry to gently off-dry.
