The Wine Society Premium Selection Pinot Gris 2013
Style: Dry white
Region: Swan Hill, VIC
Tasting Note: Though I have slotted this wine into the ‘dry white’ category, it does have a touch of richness from some residual sugar. The term ‘just-slightly-off-dry-white’ doesn’t sound quite right however. The pink tinge suggests a little bit of skin contact. The nose is rich with dominant tones of custard apple. There’s honeysuckle on the palate with spiced, poached pear. A creamy mouth-feel is balanced by crisp acidity.
Final Say: This is definitely Pinot Gris in style, which means it is best in enjoyed with food … spicy Thai dishes perhaps. $14.99 a bottle.
Score: 16 out of 20
