Heirloom Vineyards Adelaide Hills Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio can be a simple sip or a symphony of the senses, a moment of pleasure or an eternity of contemplation. Only the poet can know, so stop thinking and surrender. Pale white-gold in colour; star-bright; clean and clear. Aromas of pear skin and fresh pear flesh, freshly cut; there’s also an underlying aromatic current of dried fruits, fresh flowers and perfume. This is warmly exotic white wine with a very immediate and arresting quality that surprises rather than startles. The pear fruit and now musky flavours strike out before a mid-palate explosion of baths salts and minerality. Green apple and strong citrus zest flavours and textures quickly take over before a laser-like acidity guides the wine to a long, lengthy finish. There are oodles of citrus and pear and green apple fruit flavours here, but in a savoury, grown-up guise.
