A smart price is definitely part of the charm of this hills Gris but, so too, the attractive spiciness that comes through from the very first sniff. A gentle complexity has been worked into this wine: stewed apple, pear and citrus peel with a lively spiciness. A pear drop confection quality, especially through the finish, works super well with the brisk acidity. Well priced, fresh, lively in fruit and delivered with some typical varietal spiciness, this is a Gris that can be enjoyed every day.
