Church Road Hawke's Bay Pinot Gris 2024

Description

Apricot, Dry, Pear

"With just a hint of copper that glints in the glass, this is a richer style with ripe juicy fruit through the nose and palate. Candied-fruit sweetness is well balanced and sits comfortably amongst lees and possible oak characteristics that give the wine texture and interest" Cuisine Magazine

Richly textured Pinot Gris with exceptional aromatics. Appealing ripe pear, peach, rose water and ginger spice aromas are evident on the nose. On the palate the wine is lush and full bodied with a moderate level of sweetness balanced by gentle acidity and a touch of ginger spice on the finish. Enjoy this wine now rather than cellaring as it is unlikely to benefit from further aging.
