Tamar Ridge Tasmania Pinot Gris

“Complex, richly textured,” proclaims the back label. Don’t believe a word of it. This is a refined and delicately poised pinot grigio masquerading as a gris, with pretty aromas and flavours of nashi pear, granny smith apple, kaffir lime and pepper. Cool, tightly honed Tasmanian acidity provides well-defined structure, enlivened by the finely textured mouth feel of lees contact. Excellent length and longevity. $20 at Jim Murphy’s.
