Flaxmore Wines Pinot Gris 2018
Lovely mid palate weight, crisp spice characters with elegant ripe pears notes, softly spiced quince adds interest and ensures the wine is food-friendly while a delicate oiliness in the texture is really attractive.
This is a perfect food wine, in fact it needs food to balance the beautiful acidity, this is a Pinot Gris for serious wine drinkers rather than a Sunday afternoon quaffing wine. Having said that, a bottle of Flaxmore Pinot Gris with some pate and cheese on a Sunday afternoon would be perfect.
