| TASTING NOTE: As New Zealand branches out from its superb foundation of Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, we are going to encounter more and more gems like this amazingly priced Pinot Gris. This is aromatic, with delightful floral notes and lots of candied pear, white peach and citrus. It has a big mouthfeel that offers up a juicy, ripe, fresh flavour package. A nice choice for gently spiced pork ribs. (Vintages panel, May 2017) |
