Mishas Vineyard Dress Circle Central Otago Pinot Gris 2015 $27 ★★★★
If you think you’re ready to take your pinot gris appreciation to the next level then here’s your stepladder. Crafted by guru winemaker Olly Masters from vines growing on the vertigo-inducingly steep slopes of Bendigo overlooking Lake Dunstan, this wine has powerful roast pear, quince and apple strudel characters laced with white pepper and tangy stonefruit notes on the finish. Ultra crisp and juicy – it’s a treat. www.mishasvineyard.com
