Bald Hills Kirameki Central Otago Pinot Gris 2018 $30
I’m loving this classically-structured pinot gris, boosted with a burst of sweet green apple, pear and saturated with baking spices. It’s crisp, crunchy-fresh and fanging with pear, nashi and aromatic apple notes. “Kirameki” is a Japanese word that describes the rocks that shimmer and shine at the northern tip of the Bald Hills vineyard, and I tell you what, this pinot gris has zest, sparkle and real presence on the palate. A hint of natural sweetness injects weight and a wallop of flavour and I absolutely love it!
