Vinified in much the same way as the Pinot Gris. A more successful result though. Near full-bodied, maintaining shape via ensconced acidity and phenolics which are grippy yet nuanced.
Citrus holds court over grass with a hint of passionfruit in the mix. A whisp of smoky oak and some gravel. Nettles and herbs are present on the palate but they sit lower in the overall mix. There’s a harmony about all these elements which makes the wine all the more appealing. High marks for execution. 91
