Richly textured Pinot Gris with a seductive natural sweetness balanced by a touch of spice on the finish.
Appealing ripe pear, peach, honeysuckle, rose water and ginger spice aromas are evident on the nose. On the palate the wine is lush and full bodied with a moderate level of sweetness balanced by gentle acidity and a touch of ginger spice on the finish. While drinking beautifully now, this wine can be cellared for at least four years from vintage date. A particularly good match for pork belly and, with that touch of sweetness, it works well with many south east Asian inspired dishes.
