Villa Maria Cellar Selection Pinot Gris 2015

The 2015 vintage was mostly handled in tanks: 5 percent of the blend was oak-aged. It’s a fleshy, dryish wine (5.8 grams/litre of residual sugar) with strong stone-fruit and spice flavours, ripe, finely balanced and lingering. A top buy. Score – 4 out of 5 stars.
