They don’t make a bad wine. Fairly reductive to begin but blew off the unveil honeysuckle, pear skin, pear, custard apple, tangerine and yellow peach. Slight residual sugar well offset by the touch of phenolics. Lovely Gris

Ripe Bosc pears, ripe pineapple, lemon juice, yellow peach, leeches guava, passion fruit & yellows florals. Palate matches the nose, thick mouth texture, notes of honey, creamy/oily. Round finish and nice restrained acidity.

That's is an innovative Pinot Gris based on minerality and barn characteristics than fruitiness

£11.50 TWS. 2011 vintage. Really, really nice on first sip but not so good the next day. Shame, as I really enjoyed it on the first try. Would consider buying again.
