This is Frenchman owner Bernard Lacroute homage to Alsace. He has 18 acres of Pinot Gris planted with clones from the Alsace region and uses yeast from Alsace in the winemaking process – chosen to enhance the fruit’s aromatics.
In the glass it has exciting aromatics that include tropical fruits of ripe melon, lychee, passion fruit, papaya, mango and pineapple, with a hint of spice. The wine has a creamy texture with rich flavours of honey, juicy Asian pears, lemon meringue and fresh pineapple. There’s a smooth transition mid-palate heading toward bright acids, which imparts a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
