Lake Chalice, The Nest Pinot Gris, Marlborough, 2018

Like biting into a juicy ripe pear! A portion of the wine sees a bit of old oak, which gives a hint of vanilla to the medium-bodied palate, enlivened by crisp red apple acidity. The hint of residual sugar makes it a great match for crispy duck pancakes or even spicy mapo tofu.
