The Lane Vineyard Pinot Gris 2025
$25, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
This puts on a fruit-filled display and an attractive one at that. It’s a lovely pinot gris to drink. It tastes of nectarine, pear, apple and lychee with subtle spice notes as highlights. It’s clean, refreshing, gently reductive and generous. 91 points.
