About Ross Hill "Max" Pinot Grigio
Ross Hill 'Max' Pinot Gris opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe white peach, honeyed pear, and fresh ginger, underscored by a delicate waft of orange blossom and crushed almond. On the palate, this wine from the Orange region of New South Wales delivers impressive texture and weight, with luscious stone fruit flavours of nectarine and apricot taking centre stage alongside zesty lemon curd and a hint of toasted brioche. The cool-climate elevation of the Orange appellation lends a refreshing natural acidity that keeps the wine lively and focused. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of spiced pear and a subtle mineral salinity that speaks to the region's volcanic basalt soils.
