Eminence Pinot Grigio 2023
$35, 12.2% alcohol, DIAM cork, Whitlands High Plateau/King Valley.
It’s like biting into the freshest, juiciest Granny Smith apple ever. It’s a Pinot Grigio with texture, colour and attitude, but it’s still bursting with flavour and has plenty of zip. Add honey, citrus and apricot-like aromatics to the picture and you have yourself a wine with more than its fair share to offer, both in flavour and in the experience it provides. 91 points.
