The wine is light straw in colour, with a green hue and brilliant clarity. This high-altitude Pinot Gris displays great aromatic lift. Pot pourri, lychee and green melon notes leap from the glass. Hints of crushed rock and lees add complexity. The perfume is persistent and intriguing, always bringing you back for another sniff. On the palate, this is a fine Pinot Gris with grapefruit and lime with sherbert-like acidity. Textured and mouthfilling, the fruit is powerful, long and beautifully defined. These fruit flavours are complexed with barrel ferment characters such as nougat. The fruits are enveloped with fine grapefruit pith texture which lends the wine extra intrigue. Al Timms, Shadowfax
