Mitchell Clare Valley Pinot Gris 2023

On paper, a region that excels in Riesling should equally, by all right rights, do pretty good at Pinot Gris. Clare Valley certainly fits the former category and, increasingly, the latter. Mitchell explores the grape’s aromatics, bright honeysuckle notes, together with its core varietal strengths of apple, pear and citrus. A sprinkle of spice over the top brings added Gris depth. Texture is offset by a bright acidity, a real lemon fruit tingle zing. It makes for one mighty enjoyable drink.
