BOB’S BEST BUYS
Escarpment Gris 2023 Martinborough $30
Why I chose it:
-I like it very much and respect Escarpment as a top producer.
-It’s a wine that spans the seasons.
-It is genetically the same grape as Pinot Noir, but it is “gray” instead of red-skinned (“Gris” is French for gray). Pinot Blanc is even paler (“Blanc” means white in French).
What does it taste like?
-A smooth-textured, bright, fresh wine with flavours that resemble pear and green apple. It has a hint of sweetness balanced by refreshing acidity.
Why it’s a bargain:
-It is an interesting wine that is well made, by a top producer who offer it at a fair piece.
Where can you buy it?
-Wine Hub, Christchurch, $26
-NZ Wine Boutique, $29.99
Food match?
-Blue cheese combines sweetness and acidity with the saltiness of the cheese – delicious!
Will it keep?
-Good for 3 or 4 years, possibly more with careful storage.
