Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Detailed and complexed - shows delicate fruity notes such as pear, peach and fresh buttery aromas. This light- to medium-bodied Pinot Gris expresses a pure balance between sweetness and acidity, which leads to a long-lasting finish and a mouth-watering sensation.
92 Points - Wine Enthusiast (2018)
A very shy nose on this wine gives next to nothing away. The palate, however, comes in with intense creaminess that has an edge of melted butter. It sits well with the rich, rounded pear fruit that dominates the mid palate. Gentle freshness frames the fruit and spells elegance. Power, spice and length become apparent on the dry finish. Leave this for a while and drink 2022–2035.
