Description
An elegant and expressive Pinot Gris from New Zealand, crafted by the renowned Babich winery. On the nose, a fresh and inviting bouquet of ripe pear, crisp apple and white peach, enhanced by subtle floral notes and a hint of gentle spice. On the palate, the wine is smooth and well-rounded, with a refined structure where vibrant fruit is beautifully balanced by refreshing acidity. The finish is clean, lightly mineral and pleasantly long. Is this more like an Alsace Pinot Gris or an Italian style? No – a New Zealand Pinot Gris is fruit-forward, fresh and highly approachable, while still retaining finesse and elegance. A wonderfully versatile wine that will delight both casual drinkers and wine enthusiasts alike. Definitely worth tasting.
Food pairing:
Perfect with fish dishes, seafood, light pasta, Asian cuisine or simply as an aperitif. Serve between 8 and 10° to fully enjoy its freshness.
Cellaring:
Delicious when enjoyed young, this wine can also be cellared for 2–4 years, during which it will gain additional complexity.
