BOB’S BEST BUYS 

Wine:

Awatere River 2023 Pinot Gris, Marlborough $25 

Why I chose it: 

- 2023 was a good vintage in Marlborough 

- Pinot Gris is 4th most planted grape variety – growing in popularity 

- If someone wants a white wine but is not sure what variety, pour them a pinot gris. Good all-rounder. 

- Delicious thirst-quencher for Spring and Summer months ahead 

What does it taste like? 

- Off-dry pinot gris with succulent tree fruit/pear and nectarine flavours. An initial hint of sweetness is perfectly balanced by gentle, fruity acidity. Smooth-textured wine with a deliciously lingering finish. 

Why is it a bargain: 

- One of the best 2023’s I’ve tasted. At a moderate price. 

Where can you buy it? 

- Best price Countdown $19.99 (check the vintage), just released 

Food match? 

- My favorites are crayfish, prawns or shrimps 

Will it keep? 

- Good for the next 2-3 years although it is drinking well now.
