Palliser Estate » Pinot Gris Vintages » 2005 / 2006 / 2007 / 2008 / 2009 / 2010 / 2011
This is a wonderfully aromatic wine, reminiscent of spices, quince, lemons and lychees. Pinot Gris is a powerful wine with similar fruit flavours on the palate and is both rich and lingering. A wine that will change and benefit from ageing, though still good while young.
It is very good on its own and makes a good partner for a classic roast chicken. It can be drunk young or cellared for a few years.
Pale green/straw colour.
A beautifully pure and satisfying wine displaying elegant aromas of pear, nectarine and pineapple.
The palate is most pleasing with a succulent mouthfeel and refreshing acidity leading to an appealing finish. A beautifully flowing wine showing generosity as well as a lingering dry finish.
This is a Pinot Gris made in the Alsace style with grapes that were picked late to give good flavours and aroma concentration. It was fermented cool to retain varietal aromas and left sur lee for 7 months to gain extra palate texture. It is typically quite rich with balanced acidity and a little residual sugar.
At its best: now to 2012. It can be drunk young or cellared for a few years.
