RAIDIS ESTATE ‘CHEEKY’ PINOT GRIS 2023

Description

Pinot Gris/Grigio is a dark skinned grape, not that one would know it given upwards of 95% (speculative figure!) of the wines it makes being white. Coonawarra’s only plantings of the variety, the wine is given four days skin contact. Not so much an amber or orange wine (no oxidative handling), more a blush, it’s a style of texture and interest, zippy with weight building on the finish. A vin gris if we’re being technical.

Pears, raspberry, melons and a chalky mineral pop.  Fruit versus bitterness, a superb partner for spice an Asian dining particularly.
