Tasting note... 2022 Jules Taylor Pinot Gris RRP $22.99

December 20, 2022

17.5/20

2022 Jules Taylor Marlborough Pinot Gris RRP $22.99

Big, fleshy and flavoursome with ripe guava leading the taste in this accessibly soft and lightly spicy Pinot Gris. It has lovely weight and texture thanks to wild yeast ferments, lees stirring while ageing in barrel and also the sheer ripeness of the grapes in the wine. This is a sensationally flavoursome Pinot Gris with body to burn. Bring on the sunshine to enjoy this wine in.
