| This popular product will soon be part of our Vintages Essentials portfolio. TASTING NOTE: Cool climate viticulture from the North Island shows through in this zesty Pinot Grigio. Bone-dry with lime lift through the mid-palate. Good mouth-watering acidity for seafood or an aperitif. Zippy and refreshing with aromas of lime and grapefruit. Ends on an up note of lime and lemon zest and springtime energy. Drink: 2017-2019. Score - 90 (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, July 8, 2017) |
