Paired with: Chicken Baked with fennel and olives. Annebel Langbein Canvas NZ Herald Sat 12.3.2022
Zephyr Marlborough Pinot Gris 2021 $23.99
Any recipe that front-foots it with fennel instantly has me probing, prying and pursuing the perkiest bottle of pinot gris within reach. Winemaker Ben Glover has delivered a deliciously dry example that roars with classic strudel spices, poached quince characters and juicy nashi niceness. Generously proportioned and ultra-long on the finish, it’s a champion with this chicken dish.
