Wine Review: This white gold colored Pinot Gris from New Zealand opens with a mild grapefruit and nectarine pit bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light to medium bodied and nicely balanced between its gentle acidity and juicy fruit. The flavor profile is a quince and cantaloupe blend with notes of Bosc pear. This is also a hint gentle minerality and dash of white pepper. The finish is dry and its flavors drift away nicely. This Pinot Gris would pair well with Coquilles St. Jacques. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: An autumnal bake-up of soft sweet figs, poached pears and quince, scented with a hint of mulling spices, topped with almond crumble. An opulently ripe expression of the Pinot Gris grape with great texture and a luscious off-dry richness that finishes crisply with considerable power and length.
