It's a wine that emulates the gold winning 1998 with its balance and class while retaining the neutral aspect of Pinot Gris well. Good acidity makes it a versatile match to fish, its slight spiciness will complement Asian cuisine, its oily texture complements creamy blue cheese and the apple and pear-like flavours make it excellent with roast pork or chicken. Simply put it is smooth and creamy textured with a good citrussy tone, a spicy backbone and lingering pear and apple flavours with a slightly nutty vanilla nuance on the long winey finish. It is closed with a cork and carries 13.5% alcohol by volume.
