Val du Charron
Val du Charron Reserve Pinot Gris
| Wine Year 2017 | Wine Region Wellington |
Brilliant greeny straw hue, intense grapefruit nose, with lemon, pear, melon, artichoke, and leesy aromas also present. Prominent earthy but underlying citrus flavours. Crisp, velvety body, with a persistent finish. Round mouthfeel.
Unusual white varietal.Broaden your horizons ! Delicious fruit with good acidity. Perfect summer time wine to tackle so much more than fish or chicken – try it with a lamb korma!
Unctuous, citris notes, clear greeny hue. Elegant and long lasting.
There is so much more to life than Sauvignon Blanc. A sophistocated take on this varietal.

This has long been my favourite Pinot Gris. It’s light and crisp with citrus notes – the perfect lunchtime wine!
