Palate: The 2006 Pinot Gris was picked in two passes, at differing ripeness. This captured the full flavours of pear and mandarin, whilst maintaining crisp acidity and structure. A small proportion was fermented in French oak adding richness and rounding out the crisp citrus finish. The spice carries to the palate giving lift and texture to the wine.
