Nick O'Leary Pinot Gris
Fresh pears golden and nashi, jasmine flowers, white peach and a wet grass, earthy aspect. The palate starts broad and soft then turns quite angular and grippy on the back palate. More tart apples and lemon on the palate to contrast with the pears, the acid is firm but not over the top giving a great long finish.
