Vavasour consistenly produce a richly flavoured and lusciously textured Pinot Gris that offers great value for money. The 2013 vintage was predominately fermented and aged in stainless steel with a 10% component aged in older French oak barriques. Brilliant very pale straw colour with a watery hue. Pronounced ripe pear and lychee scents merge followed by some musk, light honeycomb and spice. Rich, lusciously textured flavours of ripe pear, tropical fruits and musk fill the palate followed by some light spice on the medium dry finish with some residual sugar present. Long ripe pear, tropical fruits, musk and spice aftertaste.
