From NZ winemaking pioneer (and photographer) Kevin Judd, comes a complex, rich pinot gris most like a fine Alsatian...
Sharply piqued, flinty and smouldering pinot gris, no shocker or unexpected stylistic from Kevin Judd and Greywacke....
Crafted in Kevin Judd's signature house style, which is to say heavy on the flinty-sulphide character, this will jar...

Screw cap. The medium-high intensity nose offers an initial flinty, sulphide, yeasty mineral, and lightly nose tingling experience, but laying underneath are rich, ripe and complex aromas of stone fruit, pear, apple, peach, citrus, floral, and grapefruit with touches of honey. On the rich, ripe, concentrated, and creamy palate are off-dry flavours of poached pear, ginger, honey, and spice. Slightly warming on the mid-palate, but still well-balanced with juicy acidity. Honeyed ginger, citrus, spice, and yeasty minerals linger on the long finish, with excellent length. Tasted Dec/2021.
