Bald Hills Central Otago Pinot Gris (2016)

Maturing gracefully, the 2015 vintage (4*) was grown at Bannockburn and made in an off-dry style. Floral and fleshy, it is mouthfilling, fresh and vibrant, with strong peach, lychee, pear and spice flavours, showing good delicacy and purity, and a dryish finish (7.6 grams/litre of residual sugar). The 2016 vintage (4*) is scented, mouthfilling and slightly sweet (6 grams/litre of residual sugar), with vibrant pear, peach, lychee and spice flavours, balanced acidity, a slightly oily texture and good concentration. Drink now or cellar.
