Rockburn Pinot Gris 2023
Features ripe peach, nectarine and Nashi pear aromas, heralding a vibrantly fruity off-dry palate. This combined with a very long, zesty finish complements rich or light seafood meals or most Asian-spiced cuisine, though its extraordinary versatility should be experienced over a wide range of dishes. This wine is drinking very well now and is expected to mellow over the next 3-4 years.
Match with pulled pork and chicken
Bright, even, pale straw yellow. The nose is softly full, opening with aromas of quince, pear, stonefruit, fennel pollen, white florals and ginger. Medium-full bodied, aromas of Nashi pear, quince and ripe apricot melded with frangipani, fennel pollen and a touch of ginger on the finish.
The fruit is juicy, supported by a fresh line of acidity. Red-tea-like phenolics lightly textured and linger with substance. This Pinot Gris is fresh and succulent with a textural mouthfeel and an appetising finish.
