Hawkshead Central Otago Pinot Gris 2017
"This is delightfully expressed and inviting on the nose showing golden peach, poached pear, fragrant spice and apple blossom characters. The palate is concentrated and succulent, delivering loads of tasty flavours together with velvety mouthfeel and refreshing acidity. Hugely appealing. Style: Dry" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2018
"The classy 2017 vintage (5*) was grown mostly at two Gibbston sites, blended with a small amount of fruit from Lowburn, in the Cromwell Basin. Bright, light lemon/green, it has a fresh, full-bloomed, gently spicy bouquet. Mouthfilling and generous, with ripe stonefruit flavours to the fore, hints of pears, lychees and spices, and a slightly oily texture, it shows impressive delicacy and depth, with a fully dry (2 grams/litre residual sugar), finely poised finish" Michael Cooper
"Full, even straw-yellow colour with some depth. The nose is fresh with softly full and gently concentrated aromas of yellow stonefruits and nutty elements along with an amalgam of yellow florals and hints of honeysuckle, spices and mineral detail. Dry to taste and medium-full bodied, the palate has stylishly restrained flavours of yellow stonefruits along with notes of exotic florals and spices forming a firm core. The flavours intermingle with soft nutty and honeysuckle nuances. The mouthfeel has good presence, and fresh acidity enlivens the palate line. The wine flows with good energy along a delicately textured line leading to a light, nuanced finish. This is a fresh, restrained and firm, dry Pinot Gris with flavours of yellow stonefruits, florals and nuts with moderate weight and a lively flow" Raymond Chan, Mar 2018
"Abundant white fleshed fruit aromas with white peach and Asian pears, apple and green grapes. A whisper of white spice and stony soil adds some depth. Offdry with some sweetness, a gentle creamy texture then flavours that match the nose. Medium acidity, varietal, balanced and well-made" Cameron Douglas
Clear, pale golden colour in the glass. Pleasingly refreshing and full of tropical fruit notes. This Pinot Gris displays lifted notes of Kaffir lime, citrus peel and sweet spice aromatics with notable hints of passionfruit and honeydew. With ripe Doyenne du Comice Pear on the finish. Still displays an impressive fruit sweetness; it will fool your palate. Fresh pineapple acidity and unctuous texture make it a balanced wine with a steely mineral backbone. It shows drive and persistence; you’re ensured to enjoy the long lingering, refreshing finish.
