Bilancia Hawke’s Bay Reserve Pinot Gris 2008 $34 
Peach crumble, frangipane, tasty grilled pear and all sorts of good stuff on the nose lead the way to a deliciously rich, stone-fruit packed palate edged with spice and a hint of sweetness which is countered by clean, vibrant acidity. The alcohol is up there (14.5%) but beautifully integrates with the fruit concentration to leave a lovely, lingering finish. www.bilancia.co.nz
