King’s River Pinot Grigio 2006
Fresh, delicate and complex, with multi-layered
tropical fruits and subtle floral aromas. Crisp,
lingering acidity and gentle fruit characters
on the finish make it ideal with oysters or grilled
chicken. |

Argento Pinot Grigio 2006 |
|
Mount Langi Ghiran Billi Billi Creek 2006
Vineyards situated in the valley, which benefit
from cooling air flows. Showing crisp pear,
honeydew
melon and lychee characters on both nose and
palate, with a cleansing acidity on the finish.
A fantastic aperitif wine. |

Babich Marlborough Pinot Gris 2006
Works well with snapper fillets, rolled in fresh
breadcrumbs and shallow fried, or with hot
baked ham and glazed kumara. The bouquet has
floral
notes floating above the more typical aromas
of pear and apple, and a touch of lime. The
strongly flavored palate is brimful of fresh
sweet fruit,
pear/quince persisting to the finish with spices
and mineral. Texturally, the wine is creamy,
with good weight.

Joseph ‘d’Elena’ Pinot
Grigio 2006
The 2006 ‘d’Elena’ has flavor
and personality. The classic Grigio character
of apple, pear and minerals are all there, clear
and pure. The finish
delivers with surprising length and chalkiness
typical of the variety. |
|
Michelini Pinot Grigio 2006
In accordance with the true Italian Grigio style,
this wine was produced with a minimum of winemaking
interaction to preserve the natural zesty fruit
notes and crisp finish, typical of this variety
in a cool climate. Pale colour with fig and melon
notes on the nose. The palate is full and round
from the natural body and texture of Pinot Grigio
with warmth on the mid palate assisted by moderate
alcohol content. |
|
Tim Adams Pinot Gris 2006
A wine with
penetrating nashi pear, green apple and tropical
fruit aromas and flavours, complemented by fullness
and some sweetness in the middle palate and cleansing
acidity. |
