Pinot Gris 2025, Moon Curser Vineyards

This lush Pinot Gris is expressive and layered, with tons of character – baked orchard fruits, ripe apricot and citrus peel. Don't get caught in broad daylight with this one!

Tasting Notes: The Moon Curser 2025 Pinot Gris is a dry, medium-full bodied white wine with a pale copper colour. On the nose it is expressive and layered, offering a bouquet of baked orchard fruits, mingled with warm notes of cinnamon and ripe apricot. Secondary aromas of toasted bread and caramel, with notes of ripe banana and orange peel add nuance and a welcome brightness. On the palate the wine is dry, but generous with weight and structure. The medium-full body carries the flavour profile with distinction. The richness of aromas on the nose carry through to the palate, echoing baked fruit, gentle spice and a ripe tropical undertone. The wine retains balance with enough freshness to prevent the wine from feeling too heavy or unstructured. The finish is persistent, leaving a lingering impression of spiced fruit and citrus peel. This wine is a textural, more contemplative style of Pinot Gris, lending itself to thoughtful sipping or pairing with richly flavoured dishes like cotes de porc, grilled chicken salad, or smoked salmon and mushroom penne. This wine drinks well now, but will not disappoint those willing to age for three to five years (2029-2031).
