Colio Budding Vines Reserve Pinot Gris 2021

A sort of late-harvest style, pink-tinged pinot gris here from Colio, with ripe orchard fruit (peach, apricot), sweet citrus (orange, bergamot) and floral-blossom flavours in a pleasant expression. The palate gives a vaguely off-dry impression, with round texture and notable cream-lees influence. Length and depth are good. Widely appealing, ready to enjoy. Tasted January 2023. Score - 88.
