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.
