Sweet fruit adds texture and richness, rounding out this lovely balanced wineColour:Very pale in its youth, but we know from experience that New Zealand Pinot Gris will develop onion skins tints with age. Bouquet:Subtle, yet exotic. The nose shows delicate earthy undertones that typify both the variety and our soils in Huapai. Coupled with this are lovely spice notes. Palate:Medium in body, with an exceptional balance between fruit sweetness and acidity. The finish is long, spicy and textural.
