Melton Estate Canterbury Pinot Gris 2015 $20
Located in the leafy climes of West Melton, 20 mins or so drive west of Christchurch city, this pinot gris has a hint of botrytis character happening, honeyed notes, beeswax and some roast stonefruit showing through. Doesn’t really show the classic nashi, pear, quince and apple characters that you’d be looking for in a classic example. Slightly sweet immediately yet has a dry note to finish.
