I normally have a longer interval between drinking the same wine than 3 weeks but that’s how the cards fell this time. See my Delectable notes of 3 weeks ago. A thoroughly delicious Pinot Gris from Martinborough in New Zealand.

Mid yellow in colour. Aromatics of Pear , raw ginger, musk and honeysuckle. Barb also saw a a burnt toffee note. On the palate a medium to full bodied spicy textural White which shows sweetness and low acid - no need to cellar further. Great match with a spicy Chilli and garlic smoked Cod because of the wine’s concentration of flavour. Easy to like. A crowd pleaser without the negative vibes that term sometimes connotates.

#pinotgris from #nzwine#martinborough okay overpriced but still lovely and textural. Lots of ripe Granny Smith and green water pears in the nose and palate. Also a bit flinty (screwcap) lemon rind, honey, ripe pineapple...my God as I’m writing this tasting note I’m liking it more and more. Has some Rieslingesque qualities and just a pinch of sweet ripe fruit on the finish

When in Martinborough... Classy stuff. Elegant and textural with good acid and just a hint of spice. Poached pears, ripe peach. Almost citrus-like acid to cleanse the finish.
