WINE DESCRIPTION
This Pinot Gris is produced by Babich Wines, a renowned winery in Auckland, New Zealand.
Harvested from vineyards in the Waihopai, Wairau, and Awatere Valleys, this medium-bodied Pinot Gris underwent skin contact before pressing and spent several hours stirring prior to clarification. Fermented in both tank and barrel, it bursts with pear and peach aromas, along with lychee and a hint of brioche.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Babich Pinot Gris shows lovely aromas of pear and stone fruit, accented by a hint of white pepper.Its medium-bodied character reveals flavors of honeydew melon, citrus, and a touch of minerality. From the first sip, its bold and glossy texture offers up ripe pear, apple, and orange flavors that linger. The finish is lively and refreshing.
