Cape Jaffa En Soleil Biodynamic Pinot Gris 2024
$30, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Wrattonbully.
This pinot gris tastes scrumptious. It sits in that perfect place: it’s flavoursome and zippy at once. It tastes of honey, rosewater, pears, citrus and fennel, the latter adding a cooling effect to the general run of richness. For value, style, flavour and quality: this wine is excellent. 94 points.
