Stoney River Pinot Gris - Gisborne 2023
A fine, balanced pinot gris that is very approachable with lovely fresh aromatics of honeysuckle, pear, and honeydew melon all leading to a nice rich palate that finishes with a balancing touch of spice and refreshing acidity.
"Delightfully fruited and elegantly lifted, the wine shows ripe peach, Asian pear, floral, and subtle spice aromas on the nose. The palate delivers succulent fruit flavours with silky texture backed by juicy acidity, finishing smooth and refreshing."
