Xavier Pa Pa Pinot Gris 2024

The fruit for this Pinot Gris hails from Mt Gambier, which continues to emerge as an excellent source for a variety of grapes (a variety of varieties?). Fermentation was in stainless steel with the wine then left on lees for five months. Deep gold straw in colour, there are hints of stewed pears, stone fruit, florals, mandarins and ginger. No lack of flavour here in a style which is a little broader than some, though it remains a refreshing drink. Medium length, with a flick of acidity running the length, this falls very much at the drink now end of the spectrum.
