🍐 Tasting Notes
A beautifully balanced Pinot Gris showing both generosity and freshness. The nose reveals lifted aromas of ripe pear, apple and stone fruit, with hints of spice and delicate floral notes.
On the palate, it is textural and expressive, delivering flavours of quince paste, poached nectarine and juicy orchard fruits. A subtle nutty complexity adds depth, while vibrant acidity keeps the wine fresh and focused. The finish is dry, smooth and lingering, with a gentle mineral edge.
