It has a beautiful, lifted, floral nose and a palate jammed full of juicy, tropical fruit. Throw in a crisp acidity and balanced alcohol and to have a fresh, elegant wine with excellent length. Yum!" - TiZwine.com"Pronounced pear and quince flavours with subtle bread crust influence. An initial impression of sweetness is restrained by gentle tannins and acidity to give a medium/dry finish. Unusual and appealing wine with an ethereal texture." - Bob Campbell, MW2009 Pinot GrisCases Produced 2,300Alcohol: 14%Brix at Harvest: 24.2Residual Sugar: 16 g/l- Best Buy Cuisine Magazine March 2010 (NZ)- 4 stars Cuisine Magazine March 2010 (NZ)- 93 points/5stars Gourmet Wine Traveller Feb 2010 (AU)- Silver Medal Air NZ Wine Awards 2009 (NZ)- Silver Medal Royal Easter Show 2010 (NZ)- Bronze Medal Romeo Bragato 2010 (NZ)- 91 points Bob Campbell, MW"Lovely pure fruit flavours with focused fresh pear, floral and white peach. There's a suggestion of sweetness to begin with but the wine finishes fairly dry. A silken texture impresses. An attractive pinot grigio style." - Gourmet Wine Traveller Magazine"Juicy aromas of Wattie's fruit salad. Creamy and textural with fresh orchard fruit, a little bit of spice, hints of vanilla and just a touch of sweetness.
