Note di degustazione
I'm not usually one for orange wines, but I have to confess that I brought the 2015 Pinot Gris Wirtz Vineyard home from my tastings and enjoyed drinking this one! It doesn't say "orange wine" on the label, but as soon as you pour a glass of this amber colored nectar, you know you are firmly in orange territory. The nutty, oxidative nose of salted almonds, Marmite toast and potpourri confirms this is no ordinary Pinot Gris, which in my book is no bad thing. The medium-bodied palate is pleasantly clean, savory and possesses a firm, pleasantly bitter phenolic grip. The finish keeps you coming back for another sip—the ultimate test of a good wine. Go on, try it!

Pale yellow. Sharply focused lime zest, pear and jasmine scents carry honey and mineral overtones. Dry and fleshy in the mouth, offering bitter citrus pith, pear and fresh fig flavors that put on weight with air. Concentrated yet nervy, finishing with very good energy and orchard-fruit-driven persistence.
