Pipers Brook Pinot Gris

An outstanding gris of structure, precision, fruit definition, texture and deceptive longevity. It showcases the taut focus of the cool 2011 season within a fruit profile of pristine focus and intensity of musk, grapefruit and pear, with a hint of wild honey. A razor-sharpened backbone of acidity supports poised crunchy pear and grapefruit with a soft undercurrent of mineral texture, skilfully enhanced by a period of skin contact and time in French oak barrels.$23 at Cracka and Winecave.
