2016 Kooyong Beurrot Pinot Gris

Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Lime top notes intermix with red apple, pear, faint dried honey and quince notes. The palate shows good volume in the mouth with generous flavours of ripe pear and apple wrapped up in dried honey followed by some faint nuttiness and spice. Rounded textural feel finishing dry with well judged acidity. Long aftertaste of ripe pears, dried honey, traces of nut and spice.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews….
Arguably one of Australia’s better known and loved pinot gris, by those that might call themselves pinot gris fanciers. Its track record is pretty good if you go by WineFront reviews too. Nothing fancy done here, just good grapes, smart winemaking, a know how with the variety.
You could file this under pinot gris in the dictionary. Classic pear, pear drop, frangipani, honeycomb, candle wax scents, even a touch of oatmeal savouriness. The palate is deep in flavour but light on its feet. Soft and juicy, almost watery but let’s call it delicate, and with silkiness to texture that makes the wine feel refreshing and regal, in a way. It keeps you thinking it’s lush only to finish feathery and mouthwatering. It’s excellent, really.
