Two Rivers Phoenix Marlborough Pinot Gris 2024

Description

Dry, Pear, Spice

"It's finely expressed on the nose, showing Asian pear, rockmelon, Gala apple, and lemon peel nuances. The palate delivers excellent weight and focus, splendidly framed by fleshy texture and bright acidity, finishing wonderfully long and succulent. At its best: now to 2029" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2025

Medium-full bodied, dry to taste, aromas of Nashi pear and apple melded with jasmine, talcum, a touch of honey and white pepper dusting. The mouthfeel is delicate and silky, carrying fresh acidity and good energy to a crisp, refined, long finish. This stylish, dry Pinot Gris is refreshing and refined with delicate flavour and freshness" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Apr 2025
