Description
“Superb fruit presence on the nose. Really punchy white peaches and gently flinty nectarines lead to a palate with a wealth of fleshy, flavorsome appeal. Finishes fresh and holds long. This is good. Drink now" James Suckling
“The nose has an elegantly concentrated and packed heart with very good aromatic presence showing intense white and yellow stonefruits entwined with an amalgam of savoury herbs, minerals and suggestions of nutty elements. This is softly mouthwatering. Dry to taste and medium-full bodied, the palate has mouthfilling ethereal flavours of white and yellow stonefruits along with notes of stonefruit kernels, herbs and nutty hints, with mineral nuances. The mouthfeel grows in richness to show a little unctuousness, with fresh, lacy acidity lending liveliness. The wine carries to a soft, lingering finish” Raymond Chan, Sep 2018
"This is gorgeously textural and complex; the complex bouquet shows baked apple, apricot, poached pear and mixed spice aromas, followed by a richly fruited and weighted palate that is fleshy and velvety. It is mouthfilling and engaging with layers of fine texture and elegant savoury flavours. Style: Dry. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2018
Pear, lime zest, almond and cream soda on the nose accentuated by an intense mineral character. A very aromatic Pinot Gris with fantastic cool climate freshness from a notably cool growing season with an intensity coming from the unusually small bunches. The Palate is laden with fruit flavours including many types of pear (Anjou, Williams and Nashi), white peach and citrus. A beautifully textured mid palate is complimented by a vibrant vein of acidity that runs through the wine giving it drive and length. Our Pinot Gris is great for food pairing, delicious on its own and very age worthy. This vintage in particular is one the Winemakers believe will highly reward those hide some in the cellar.
