There’s something about the inherent spiciness of a good Pinot Gris that is hugely appealing. It’s not loud but rather comes at you – as in this lovely young Gris – with a depth of spice that is both lively and invigorating. Aromas of orange blossom, lime zest, lemon, nectarine, pepper, ginger. This is one zesty, fresh and perky Gris, really bright in acidity. Hits a peppery spice sweet spot on the palate and with it plenty of gingery bite intertwined around a solid core of citrus and lime zest. Great by itself or with seafood.
