Bright straw-yellow colour with light golden hues, paler on
rim. The nose is deeply concentrated
with complex aromas of savoury yellow stonefruits melded with honey, revealing
toast and minerally nuances. The
aromatics show a refreshing herb and steely note lending an underlying vitality
and liveliness. Off-dry to taste and
medium-full bodied, concentrated flavours of lifted yellow stonefruits are
melded with exotic florals and honey. The
mouthfeel is very smooth and the fruit flows along a very refined, textural
line with fresh acid cut lending brightness and energy. The wine is elegantly proportioned and is
carried to a long and sustained finish. This is an elegantly proportioned, vibrantly
fruited off-dry Pinot Gris with flavours of yellow stonefruits and honey. Serve with Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese
cuisine over the next 4-5 years. Hand-picked
M2 and 457 Entave clone fruit from two vineyards, fermented in 2,500 Litre
cuves to 13.33% alc. and 14.5 g/L RS, the wine aged on lees. 18.5/20

Bright straw-yellow colour with light lemon-gold hues, paler
on rim. This has a very fresh, tightly
bound and elegant nose, slender in presentation with mineral-infused apricot,
honey and herbal aromas, revealing some nutty detail in the glass. Medium-dry to taste and medium-bodied, fresh
fruit flavours of white and yellow stonefruits, yellow florals and honey, form
a harmonious palate with attractive soft textures and fine phenolic line. The mouthfeel is fresh with gentle, bright
acidity which enables the fruit richness to feature with a suggestion of
unctuousness. The flavours flow to a
soft, concentrated finish with good length.
This is an elegant, soft-textured, fresh medium-dry Pinot Gris with good
richness. Match with pork and rich white
meat dishes over the next 4-5 years. Hand-picked
