And this is not a pinot gris that finds itself in a quality “Gris-zone.” It stands well above the crowd of pinot gris and is characterized by luscious and complex flavours of ripe fruit, a slightly viscous and refreshing texture, and excellent balance.

The colour in the glass immediately revealed the varietal, with its signature peach tones in a brilliant, pale straw, clear bowl. Flowery and flinty aromas, followed by a slightly viscous mouthfeel and strong acid. (www.2ndferment.blogspot.com)
