Innocent Bystander pinot gris

Usually, I prefer pinot grigio to gris, but this wine is not bad. I have to say, it was lovely with dinner but it was a bit sickly when I quaffed it alone.

That's more likely a reflection on me than on the wine though!

Interestingly, I tasted very strong honey and pear flavours, with less of the "nashi" flavour that was described. It was also quite creamy, although I didn't pick up on any jasmine or kaffir lime notes - the honeysuckle was definitely there though.

Quite delicious but definitely one for food.

  1. I definitely prefer Nashis to brown pears when it comes to Gris flavours! Tricky grape to get right.

    cheers
