| Notes | Expressively aromatic, the wine’s floral and tropical fruit aromas precede flavors of Mandarin orange and Honeydew melon. Mouthwatering and enticing, its bright acidity and broad texture entwine throughout the wine’s lingering finish. "This is a fresher style of Pinot Gris, so not reminiscent of Alsace or New Zealand. On the nose there are touches of steely lemon zest, with hints of white tea. To taste there's a creamy texture, with a medium body and a long finish of white flowers." (Decanter Magazine) | |||
