Triple Bank Awatere P/G 750mL

Description

Three steeply stepped, sun-baked terraces on the southern bank of the Awatere River inspired the name of a farm – Triplebank. Triplebank Pinot Gris is pale lemon-gold, and opens with ripe pear and apple aromas, and a spicy background. The palate is opulent with great concentration of orchard fruit, nutmeg and cinnamon notes on a broad, textural palate. The complex flavours carry through to a rounded and lengthy finish. Try matching this wine with rich dishes such as risotto bianco with parmesan, or pasta carbonara, alongside a rocket, pear and walnut salad. A lightly spiced dish would also match well such as chicken and chorizo paella, or salmon in tandoori spices. Serve at any time with hard cheeses and fruit paste. Very approachable now this wine will also gain depth and complexity over the next 1-2 years.
