84/100 35

Assertive flavours with a slightly grassy, Sauvignon Blanc-like character, together with bready yeast lees and white peach. Medium/dry with a smooth texture and lengthy finish. Flavoursome wine for those who prefer drier Pinot Gris.

Tasted: Oct 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $23 (~USD $19)
