Lake Road Gisborne Pinot Gris 2013

Pinot Gris from New Zealand – Gisborne
Review Date - 27-Aug-2013

16/20

Bright, pale straw-yellow colour, pale on rim. The nose is softly full with aromas of rears, honeysuckle and steely herbal notes, lifted with some fermentation esters. Dry and light-bodied, the fruit is taut and lean with white stonefruit flavours along with white florals and minerally nuances. The palate has a crisp line with subtle textures, the acidity in good balance and carrying the flavours to a clean, dry, fresh finish. Possessing an attractive aromatic nose, this is crisp and dry in the Pinot Grigio style. Serve with antipasto and with seafood over the next 18 months – 2 years. Gisborne Pinot Gris tank-fermented to 13.2% alc. and 1 g/L RS. 16.0/20 Aug 2013 RRP $15.99
