TASTING NOTES FOR Henschke Innes Vineyard Pinot Gris Adelaide Hills 2024

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with shimmering silver-green hues. Bright, fresh and youthful in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Highly aromatic and inviting. Pear, apple and white peach lead, lifted by jasmine, orange blossom and subtle spice.
Hints of ginger, citrus zest and delicate florals add complexity and elegance.

👅 Palate
Vibrant, textural and beautifully balanced. Layers of pear, nectarine and apple are supported by citrus-driven acidity and a fine mineral thread.
There is excellent energy and precision, with both richness and freshness in harmony.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Silky yet lively, with a signature “crunchy” texture reminiscent of fresh apple.
The finish is long, clean and mouth-watering, with lingering stone fruit, spice and citrus notes.

🍇 Overall Style
A premium Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris—fragrant, textural and finely detailed.
Combines Gris richness with Grigio-like freshness, showing excellent balance and cellaring potential (4–6+ years).

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with pork, roast chicken, seafood, creamy pasta dishes or Asian cuisine. Also excellent with soft cheeses.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A standout modern Pinot Gris that overdelivers on flavour, texture and balance.
Ideal for mixed dozens—versatile, crowd-pleasing and a step up in quality for customers wanting something more refined.

Cheers
