Juxtaposed Pinot Gris 2016
McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaAcid-junky winemaker Wes Pearson shines through his line of Juxtaposed wines. This pinot gris is from Stillwell Vineyard in Blewitt Springs. Slightly earlier picked, native fermented to start, and barrel fermented on full solids, this was then racked off gross lees after primary fermentation (no MLF) and back to barrel for a short stint. Wes likes the wines bottled fresh, and it shows. So much juicy gris character: quince, pear, lemongrass medicinal herbal note on the finish. Medium body and a friendly 12%. 100 cases made. The label, if you couldn't tell, is James T Kirk and some alien dude in the Batmobile.Tasted: 27 August 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| Aus | $26.00 | 750ml | Australia |
