This is a full bodied style of Pinot Gris, with aromatics and flavours of stone fruit, honey and pears are evident with a hint of spice providing complexity.

The nose is bursting with melons, peach and ripe tropical and citrus fruits, followed by a generous fruit-driven palate. Classic Chardonnay roundness, giving a mouth-filling finish.

Pinot Noir is fickle but she is charming, she is temperamental but bewitching. She is the Fickle Mistress.
