Terra Sancta Lola’s Block Central Otago Pinot Gris 2016 $27.45 ★★★★½

Jody Pagey and Len Ibbotson are the winemaking and viticulture guru’s responsible for this luscious and tangy, southern star pinot gris. It’s a wine that seduced me from the get-go with its punchy nashi freshness and apple strudel spices. Rich and luscious and bursting with partytime on the palate (that’s a technical term btw) this pinot gris is the perfect partner for chilli and ginger soaked smoked chicken salad.
