It is a beautiful bright wine with aromas of green apple, nashi pear and a hint of spice on the nose and a restrained palate of zesty citrus and stone fruit flavours with a touch of minerality on the finish. It is a crisp and refreshing wine which is delicate yet intense and can be enjoyed in its youth or within three years from vintage.

An excellent food wine in general Brown Brothers Pinot Gris would be an ideal accompaniment to spicy Thai green curry. It would also be a perfect partner to pan-fried trout with a squeeze of lemon juice and cracked pepper or a mushroom and onion tart with flaky pastry.

These aromas, along with a savoury feel, follow through to the palate leaving pronounced acidity, a character typical of cool climate vineyards.

Aromatics of Poached pears and green apples with underlying nuances of brioche and nougat follow though to a crisp fresh palate. Partial barrel fermentation adds depth, complexity and length.

Brilliant water like colour with a very faint greenish tinge to the outskirts. Nosing reveals delicate fresh pear, green apple and lime aromas with minerally end notes. Elegant and fresh the palate has flavours of lime and green apples over some citrus and a faint minerality. Finishes dry with crunchy acidity and an aftertaste of limes, green apples, citrus and a zingy minerality.
