You’ve made a good decision buying that bottle of Pinot Gris!
Tasting notes
Overview
Sourced exclusively from our oldest Home Block vineyard, this Pinot Gris exhibits the concentration and complexity associated with well-established vines. Baked spiced pears and subtle white floral aromatics on the nose, combine with a palate that is weighty and textural with notes of candied lime and stone fruit. Off-dry, the palate is perfectly balanced with natural residual sweetness and fine mineral acidity.

Cellaring
As an aromatic white, we recommend chilling your Pinot Gris in your refrigerator for a few hours beforehand until it reaches around 70 C or 450F. If it is too chilled it runs the risk of losing some of the fruit flavours and aromas.
To keep your wine at its best, store it in a cool, dark place to protect it from damage by sunlight. Don’t wait too long to drink it – it is best consumed within one to four years of purchasing.
