Eden Valley, South Australia. Pinot gris. 14.5%. Screwcap. Approx $A25I wanted something textural to drink with dinner and so it seemed entirely appropriate to select this modestly priced Mountadam white.
Bright and slightly pink. Mustard fruit and poached pear, citrus zest, baking spices, honeysuckle and wax. I've scribbled 'Vouvray like' in my tasting notes, but in reality the nose has too much zip and spice. In the mouth - a large, loose knit, diffuse wine - there's a suggestion of sweetness and crunch and it seems at times dilute, fat and flaccid. Thankfully the finish is much better though some might find it a little too ginger flavoured. Now - 2013. 90.
