NZ
Australia
There are very few NZ Pinot Gris that achieve the level of depth, length and sheer complexity that Dry River manages to master.
Notes of wild honey, nectarine and nougat are to the fore with hints of vanilla
Impressively structured, yet beautifully luscious and buoyant this Pinot Gris enigma is so pure and stylish but will gain additional dimension over the next 5 -7 year.

Description
Bright and fragrant, this Pinot Gris opens with vibrant notes
of orange zest, warm apricot, and a whisper of ginger, layered
with delicate green melon and soft pear. A subtle floral lift,
reminiscent of wildflowers, enhances the bouquet. On the
palate, rich, pastry-like phenolics create depth and texture,
evoking the comforting warmth of a crackling fire. A touch
of residual sugar lends a silk-like smoothness, while hints of
popcorn and brown sugar add contrast and structure to its
opulent breadth. The finish is indulgent and lingering, leaving
an irresistible, moreish allure.
