From the ‘Vineyard Range’ yet there is no vineyard actually listed on the label (just Adelaide Hills ‘vineyards’). That’s a cheeky departure for a range of wines that are sold as ‘unique wines showcasing single vineyard varieties.’

A tinny, skinny, indistinct sort of Pinot Gris, this has some pear fruit through the middle but little else. No flavour and no interest to be found otherwise, aside from a suggestion of residual sweetness to finish.

No heart.
