Irvine Spring Hill Pinot Gris 2025
$27, 12.4% alcohol, screwcap, Eden Valley.
This is what you want. The fruit flavour are pure and have a pit of dimension to them; it’s all about the fruit but there’s a gentle, attractive saltiness in play too; there’s a whisper of texture; it starts well and it keeps running all the way through. Good job. Nice wine. It’s a win. 92 points.
