About Mount Riley Pinot Gris 750mL
Mount Riley Pinot Gris from Marlborough opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe pear, white peach, and delicate rose petal, underpinned by a whisper of honeysuckle. On the palate, the wine is generous and textured, delivering juicy stone fruit flavours of nectarine and apricot alongside a subtle ginger spice. A refreshing streak of citrus zest keeps the wine lively and balanced, while a gentle creaminess adds mid-palate weight. The finish is clean and lingering, with a pleasing mineral edge that is characteristic of Marlborough's stony soils.
