If it really wanted to, I think Southern Tasmania could be ground zero for great Australian Pinot Gris. Whether many Tasmanian producers think there is value in such a sport (Grising) is another question all together.

Anyways this is a clean, dry and fragrant Pinot Gris that has just the barest hint of white peach richness, a wine that balances out the white flower prettiness off the variety with some proper acid crunch. I like it. I like the clean lines and the freshness and the balance of it all. Good Gris.
