Black Cottage Pinot Gris 2014

From - Marlborough, NZ
Grape - Pinot Gris
Alcohol - 12.5%
Available from - Majestic
Price - £12.99

Appearance - A white wine with a pale, lemon colour.

Nose - A clean, youthful nose, with medium intensity.  Aromas of pears, peaches and a touch of floral.

Palate - The palate is dry, with medium+ acidity, medium alcohol and body, and medium intensity. With green fruit of apples and pears; peaches and a touch of stone minerality.

This is a very nice example of a New World Pinot Gris, with subtle flavour and aroma, well balanced with not too much alcohol.  Currently on a 'buy two save 25%' at Majestic which makes it good value.  Fruity enough to match up with a bit of spice in your dinner.
