83/100 35

Soft, slightly sweet Pinot Gris with stewed apple and clove flavours. Fine tannins give a drying though slightly coarse finish. The wine has gained flavour from skin contact but has paid the price with a grainy texture.

Tasted: Oct 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $26 (~USD $22)
