Longview Hen’s Teeth Pinot Gris 2025
$28, 11.5% alcohol, screwcap, Adelaide Hills.
This is a mouthwatering white wine. It also carries a slip of texture, which doesn’t hurt either. It tastes of green apples, nashi pears and citrus with brown apple and lemongrass notes flashing briefly across the nose. It’s zippy. It extends well through the finish. It feels pure of intent and eager to refresh. 91 points.
