Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Medium lemon with tropical and citrus fruit aromas with spicy notes. Palate shows ripe fruit flavors of peaches, pears, green apples and citrus zest. Medium finish good balance with acidity ending with ripe fruit character and mineral spice.

Rather big white here. Slightly clumsy perhaps but enjoyable nevertheless.

Peach open into a tangerine finish. A stony minerality throughout.

Particularly good for its modest price.

Really liked it this one. It seems more extracted than other pinot gris that I've had, really balanced and not too acidic. Will definitely get it again

15,98€/0.75l Alko.
Lacks acidity and character. Disappointing considering the price range I bought it in.
