Kakapo Marlborough Pinot Gris (2016)

Grown in the Omaka Valley, the very easy-drinking 2016 vintage (3.5*) from wine distributor SANZ Global is pale, with fresh pear and spice aromas. Medium to full-bodied, it is smooth, with very good depth of pear and peach flavours, a hint of spiciness, and a dry (3 grams/litre residual sugar), slightly creamy finish.
