Pale straw in colour and impeccably clear this has a wonderfully floral nose with hints of minerality. The palate has a wonderful texture with apple and pear that you would expect from this style. Clean crisp acidity and good length this is a refreshing and attractive wine. With only 6.0 g/L of residual sugar this still has a little fruit sweetness that is pleasant and doesn't highlight such a low residual sugar content.
Basically yum! Apples and Pears and good mouth feel with light acidity. If you like clean refreshing wine this is nice easy drinking but still complex enough not to be boring.
There is a mix of reviews across the De Bortoli website as well as a few that are selling this wine ranging from 88 through to 94 and from me a 9 out of 10.
Value for money wise this ranges online from $17 to the bottle shop at about $21 and at any price in there its worth what you are paying. Its available directly from De Bortoli online as well as a few other online cellars but also readily in bottle shops around.
If you like Pinot Gris styles you'll like this one even though it's been messed with by adding in the other two aromatic varietals. Pleasant easy drinking that most people will love. Haven't tried a Pinot Gris? This one is a good place to start. Don't walk past that attractive bottle alsatian style bottle on the shelf, turn around, go back, pick it up and buy it. You won't regret it. Good luck and happy drinking!
