2023 Sorby Adams Margaret Pinot Grigio
Brilliant water like colour with a faint greenish tinge around the outskirts. Aromas of pear, red apple and delicate honeysuckle drift through the nostrils followed by some spicy quince like notes. Delicious pear and red apple fruits fill the mouth carrying with them a silken feel. Delicate honeysuckle and musk elements ensue. Finishes dry with a lick of brisk acidity freshening up the long moreish finish.
Drink over the next year.
Alc. 12%
Other Reviews…..
Margret was Simon Adam’s grandmother and the zesty apple notes of her baked apple pie reminded Simon of the crisp apple notes in this wine. My grandmother also made a superb apple pie (of which I ate far too many), so I know exactly what he means. Margret did not have, as far as I am aware, anything to do with the discovery of Neptune (personally, star in the sky or star in the kitchen – I know where my vote goes). Very pale straw in colour, this is a refined style of Pinot Gris, exhibiting some elegance. Spices, citrus, grapefruit and pears, along with those crisp apple notes, this has good punch but never loses that elegance with excellent persistence. Enjoy this over the next four to five years. A really good Pinot Gris. I would say enjoy it with your best apple pie but that would be too easy and I suspect it would go better with fresh barramundi in any event. Drink 2023-2028.
