Fairhall Downs Single Vineyard Marlborough Pinot Gris 2016 $23.95

18 April 2017By Yvonne
Fairhall Downs Single Vineyard Marlborough Pinot Gris 2016 $23.95Yvonne2017-04-18T15:25:11+12:00

Smelling this wine is like walking into an apple packhouse.  Intoxicating waves of Golden Delicious, Gala and Rose assail the olfactories, and once they wash across the tastebuds, a ribbon of nashi, nectarine and white pepper wraps them all up and sends them south in a tsunami of dry, softly prickly acidity and powdery textural layers.

Sip with: slivers of salty prosciutto
