PINOT GRIS/PINOT GRIGIO

PINOT GRIS/GRIGIO UNDER $20

13 TASTED

7 AWARDED

A mixed bag of wines not surprising at this level. However, there were some nice examples of the styles. “Why would you make wines that stick out at this price,” said one judge. “You would still need to have balanced wines and not grippy flavours.”

Babydoll Marlborough Pinot Gris 2020 ★★★★

Elegant and somewhat restrained pear-like aromatics and a delicately flavoured palate with a zesty finish. $17.95

NZ

Celso Vento Pinot Grigio 2019 ★★★½

Pears and citrus on the nose with musky floral notes and a nicely focused, lovely, lemony palate. $12

Jacob's Creek 1847 SA Pinot Gris 2019 ★★★½

Reserved citrus aromas and quite a dry palate with flavours of lemons and pears. Good acidity. $18

Lake Chalice The Falcon ★★★
