Trinity Hill Hawke's Bay Pinot Gris 2023

Description

Apricot, Dry, Floral

"A sophisticated expression of Gris with layers of fruit and spice scents, a sense of site and specific style. Aromas and flavours of Baked yellow apple and green pears, a layer of lees ads complexity and on the palate - breadth and texture. A satin-cream touch on the palate with a nice acid line for contrast, the flavours of pomaceous fruits, mandarin and lemon peel. Balanced and well made in a ready to drink expression. Best from 2024 through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Aug 2024

Ripe Nashi pears are complemented by exotic aromas of sweet spices (think cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg), rose water and spicy glacè ginger. The wine is rich and opulent in the mouth with a soft, mouthcoating texture balanced by refreshing acidity.

Food Pairing: Excellent persistence of flavour, and a lingering spicy finish, ensure the wine is satisfying either on its own, or partnered with a wide range of foods, particularly Asian-inspired dishes.
