Pinot Gris has become something of a New Zealand speciality over the last decade or so, and this waxy, aromatic and textured example shows just how delicious and food-friendly the wines can be. It combines soft notes of flowers, honeyed apple and stone fruits with a viscous body and a persistent finish.
