Terrace Edge Pinot Gris
£23.00
Taste
Voluminous fruits and spice
Aroma
Peach, pear and tarte tatin
Description
Pinot Gris is very popular in New Zealand, and is now catching on here. It’s easy to see why. A far cry from Italian Pinot Grigio (same grape), here thousands of miles away due to climate, soil and handling it can really flourish. After a natural fermentation and ageing in a combination of oak barriques for richness and stainless steel for freshness, this white emerges rich, complex and aromatic. All peach, pear and tarte tatin, the sweetness is subtle and mouthfeel velvety smooth, backed up by refreshing acidity. A sumptuous wine that matches fusion or Asian dishes so well, or simply enjoy on its own.
- 5 Stars, Raymond Chan, ‘The nose is full of generosity, aromas of white floral perfume, ripe Peckham pears, nectarines underlying lemon and honey essence. Medium-full bodied, dry-ish to taste, voluminous aromas of pears and nectarines, uplifted by lemon crispiness, follow by floral perfume, honey and five-spice lingers to a long finish. The palate is round with weight, entwined with the generous fruit; lemon lifting the finish with brightness and liveliness. Complexing five-spice and honey added interest to the flavours and mouthfeel. This is a complex and voluminous Pinot Gris with ripe flavours of pear and nectarines, along with honey and spices on a smooth, round palate. BioGro organic certified.’ (2020 vintage)
