Brightwater Lord Rutherford Nelson Pinot Gris 2014 $30 ★★★★½

So if you’ve never entertained the thought of spending $30 on a bottle of pinot gris then it’s probably about time you started saving some coin because there’s a huge leap in complexity to be gained when you upgrade.  I love the luscious lychee, quince, baking spices and roast pear flavours that ooze from this wine.  Juicy and generous and boasting a splash of succulent sweetness – this will definitely appeal to those who don’t like their wines on the skinny side.  www.brightwaterwine.co.nz
