Pale blush in the glass, this full, round Pinot Gris is cut with a slicing pear-skin bitterness and pink grapefruit acidity, balancing off ripe nectarine, white peach, mandarin and yellow apple with a pithy edge and a bump of ripe sweetness. Ample ginger spicing and peach fuzz on the finish. Friendly; drink now with prawns and papaya salad.
Definitely modeled after a rich Alsace Pinot Gris rather than a lighter Pinot Grigio. Loads of ripe, juicy peach up-front, with some sweet honey, pear and caramel fragrances all kept in line via some bracing mineralogy. Rich and honeyed, it sports nuances of pear nectar and clove. There’s a dash of heat on the finish from the 14% ABV; it’s all balanced by some zesty spice notes and cleansing acidity.
From the Martinborough region located on NZ’s North Island comes this expressive single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc which was organically farmed. The mango, guava, orange, passion fruit, lime, pink grapefruit and herbs jump out of the glass and onto the taste buds, where spice and lively acidity frame everything quite nicely. Ready to drink.
Yet another very tasty Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand at an affordable price. Very pale lime in colour with a nose of cut grass and elderberries. It's medium-bodied with a flavour of sweet passionfruit; fresh grapefruit acidity prolongs the taste in the mouth.
Pale colour; grassy, asparagus and green plum bouquet; medium-bodied, crisply dry with pure Sauvignon flavours that sustain well on the palate.
Just what you’d expect from the Wairau Valley: very pale in colour with a nose of green beans and grapefruit lifted with a floral note; medium-bodied, fresh and lively on the palate with great length.
A blend of Gewürztraminer, Riesling and Pinot Gris. Very pale in colour; almost water-white.
