Edwin Fox Reserve Marlborough Pinot Gris 2017

Description

"Elegant yet flavoursome, this is a fabulous expression of the variety showing white nectarine, rockmelon, fresh pear and apple blossom aromas on the nose. The palate is equally charming and appealing with bright fruit intensity and silky texture, finishing persistent and juicy. Style: Off-dry" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2018

A delicious Pinot Gris with lifted aromas of fragrant ripe pear, warm brioche and spice. Beautifully rounded flavours of pear, baked apple tart tatin and cinnamon leads to a lovely fresh dry finish that lingers.

The Edwin Fox is a Historical East Indiaman style ship built in Bengal in 1853. She is the 9th oldest ship afloat in the world today and the last surviving wooden immigrant ship to New Zealand. She now resides on the Picton foreshore at the gateway to the picturesque Marlborough Sounds.

Food Pairing: Well matched with a Thai Green Curry or pan fried pork chops.
