A moderately sweet style of Pinot Gris with associated lush, pear, apple and spice flavours. Good texture and balance. A good example of its style with fresh acidity and very fine tannins helping to restrain sweetness on the finish.

Tasted: Oct 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $25 (~USD $21)
