Dry and full of mineral on the nose with notes of petrol, beeswax and white flowers. Full, luscious and creamy on the palate. A mouthful of fresh acidity leads to flavors slate and stone with slight herbal notes. The finish is long, full and mouth coating. — 10 years ago

A fascinating delicious wine. I'm not normally a Pinot Gris fan but this was a wow wine. Notes of Pear and Honeysuckle. Rich and luscious, full mouthfeel - some sweetness. Finishes dry with a trace of bitterness which is not a bad thing. Excellent. — 9 years ago

On the nose, extremely delicate & soft notes of citrus, fragrant flowers and soft minerality. On the palate, soft, lean lemon, lime juice, grapefruit, underripe green melon, citrus blossoms & beautiful soft minerals. The long finish is a lean but rich mellowed citrus. — 8 years ago
