Grant Burge East Argyle Pinot Gris

Pale straw with a hint of rose gold. Bouquet: The nose is a decadently indulgent and luxurious bouquet. Awash with the decadent aromas of cinnamon-spiced pear crumble, freshly baked brioche and quince paste; accented with the floral perfume of rose, honeysuckle and jasmine. These heady fragrances waft above the enticingly rich aromas of bittersweet-caramel, raw honeycomb and ground spices; gently encircling the core fruit fragrances of softened pears, Pink Lady apples and fresh white peach. Palate: The palate is an intensely textural experience; with fine, crunchy phenolics intertwined with zesty natural acidity to create a complex and finely balanced foundation. The indulgent flavours of caramel soaked apples and spicy poached pears are perfectly balanced and bittersweet, harmonising with the savoury inflection of the phenolic structure and drawn through the palate by the tight acid line that adds a delicate crispness and causes those flavours to linger sensuously on the finish.
