Rivah Pinot Grigio 2024
$19, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Riverland.
You get a bit extra with this juicy pinot gris. It tastes of apple and pear, as many pinot grigios do, but it also tastes of honeysuckle, musk, pineapple and rosewater, which gives it a bit of difference. It’s refreshing and tasty at once. It’s also very good value. 90 points.
