Creamy peaches, nashi pear and ripe melon on the nose, with light honeysuckle florals and delicate spice. The palate is round and juicy, with flavours of pear and apple, an off-dry fruit sweetness, and some peachy nectarine character through the lightly nutmeg-spiced finish. Soft and quaffable, this is a lovely, fresh and easy Pinot Gris with succulent balance and smooth flow, finishing lightly textured with lingering spiced peach flavours. You can’t go wrong; she’s a great value, crowd-pleaser.
