Hillersden Pinot Gris 2016 Review
Round, juicy, and filled with lush fruit throughout, this dry New Zealand Pinot Gris accents aromas of peach, apricot, tangerine, and mango flesh with sugared pecans. While it remains soft and mouth-filling on the palate, a burst of lemon brightens the flavors up and zips the wine together.
