Pinot Gris

Description
Pale pink in colour with lifted aromas of strawberry, rhubarb, pink pickled ginger and hints of rose petals. On the palate the wine is more savoury, with crunchy rhubarb and salted plum flavours, firm tannin structure and tangy acid length. Terrific with salmon and tuna sashimi, or a lovely charcuterie platter.
