78/100 35

Soft and, as the label says, “smooth” Pinot Gris with pleasant pear flavours. The wine derives its (reasonably) smooth texture from a modest amount of residual sugar and a fairly solid alcohol of 14%. It’s balanced and well made offering good value at this price.

Tasted: Sep 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $15 (~USD $11)
