Pinot Gris keeps attracting converts largely through its irresistible restlessness. There is no one interpretation of the grape, there are many, as Little Giant reveals. Here we see Pinot Gris in shades of its Grigio other self – that brisk acidity is deliciously fresh – with nods to its traditional and not-so-traditional varietal aromas and flavours. Orange blossom, acacia, ginger and apple are delivered with an attractive injection of light tropicals. Exotic notes of papaya skin, tangerine and nectarine grab your attention. It’s dry, tangy and clean with just the merest suggestion of texture. Good one!
