Tasting Note Cool nights and warm days during the growing season have helped to enhance the varietal character resulting in a wine exhibiting delicate aromas of white pear, nectarine, quince and a hint of cut hay.
A full flavoured palate primarily driven by the above fruit flavours with an unctuous mouth feel integrated with subtle oak not present aromatically but contributing to a silky mouth feel that carries the wine through to a long lingering finish.
Perfect as a lunchtime drink or accompaniment to Asian cuisine. Cellar for medium term for increased complexity.
Accolades 85/100 - Bob Campbell, October 2009
Reviews This wine satisfies my definition of "Pinot Grigio" with its gently aromatic fruit flavours and soft texture. The palate is moderately silken without coarse tannins. Not totally dry but close enough to be able to be enjoyed with a wide range of dishes.
