Wine Description
It shows golden yellow colour, slightly deeper than usually. Quite gentle, restrained on the nose, reminiscent of red apples and flint.
Very dry on the palate, medium bodied with plenty of character. Much more outspoken and intense on the palate than on the nose as we find extra spicy notes, pineapple. Very refreshing with unusually high but balanced acidities showing the cool climate origin. Well balanced, savoury, great with food. A classic Pinot Gris from our place with fruit of Gris and freshens of Grigio.
