2021 Stefano Lubiano Pinot Gris

Naturally fermented in two to five year old 500 litre puncheons, spending seven months on lees. A light apricot pink tinged colour due to the extended skin contact. Lifted pear and red apple skin aromas are followed by some quince and spice. Intensely flavoured and very textural yet vibrant the palate features generous fresh pear and red apple fruits over hints of honeysuckle, lime, quince and ginger spice. Finishes dry with brisk acidity and a long spicy aftertaste.

Ooh, looks like a bit of colour in the glass. Yes thanks.
Proper gris. Texture is slippery, good intensity of flavour, pear, very exotic and complex spice characters, a lick of honey, ginger. Dense and rich but with freshness and energy on its side. Big and bold but balanced. A seriously good, fuller flavoured white wine.
