Moorooduc Estate Pinot Gris ‘Pinot Gris On Skins' 750ml
| Vintage: | 2021 |

| Description: | It's always challenging to know where to categorize wines such as this. In the glass, it is pink, and so it fits perfectly into the rosé category. However, it is technically a skin-contact white wine (a.k.a. orange, amber, etc.), and so in the absence of a suitable category, I've gone with white. So, the 2021 Pinot Gris on Skins from Kate McIntyre at Moorooduc Estate is a mandarin hue in the glass. The nose is littered with wheatgrass, orange zest, white pepper, lanolin, cheesecloth, juniper berries and cold tea. Skin-contact time is, in my opinion, hands-down the most interesting way to handle Pinot Gris, and the result is a textural, slightly bitter, full-flavored, spicy, salty wine. |
