Pinot Gris
Morton Estate White Label Pinot Grigio 2008
Hawkes BayPinot Gris
Cool nights and warm days during the growing season have helped to enhance the varietal character resulting in a wine exhibiting delicate aromas of white pear, nectarine, quince and a hint of cut hay.
A full flavoured palate primarily driven by the above fruit flavours with an unctuous mouth feel integrated with subtle oak not present aromatically but contributing to a silky mouth feel that carries the wine through to a long lingering finish. More
