Mitchell Pinot Gris Clare Valley 2023

Pear, green apple, pastry dough, and quince at the fore aromatically, with a subtle toastiness from the barrel fermentation beneath. The palate is fresh and vibrant but with lovely creamy, slightly oily texture and a nice lick of grainy phenolic structure to clean it up. Spiced apple, pear, kumquat, toast and quince paste are wrapped up in a dry, structural finish. A good mix of well defined fruit and savouriness brings interest and complexity, along with a solid amount of phenolic presence. A good drink at this price.
