TASTING NOTE: An instantly appealing pinot gris, the fragrant nose shows ripe nectarine, poached pear, rockmelon and floral characters. The palate is filled with attractive fruit flavours and smooth texture, wonderfully enhanced by whispering sweetness and juicy acidity. A real crowd-pleaser. At its best: now to 2018.
