Brancott Estate, East Coast (New Zealand) Pinot Gris 2023

 I would imagine that the success of Sauvignon Blanc in New Zealand has locals occasionally pining for something else to satisfy their cravings for an alternative white wine.  Enter this delicious Pinot Gris – a wholly other and wholly worthy option to go to when something full of flavor but a less citric than its famed white.  Bright and viscous all at once, with a touch of signature wooly character and a long stone fruit finish, I feel confident in saying that you will love it.
