The Other Wine Co Pinot Gris - New Packaging 2023

Fermented on full solids in a combination of large format oak foudres, seasoned French oak puncheons, and stainless steel. It was then allowed to rest on lees for 4 months. Star jasmine, mock orange blooms and pomelo pith. Mangosteen, orchard apples and nashi pear. Fresh linen, greengage plum and white pepper. This wine has stayed true to its style from day dot with slight tinkering to sweetness levels and hue. It’s unapologetically Gris and filled with spice and all things nice. A lovely wash of natural moderate acidity and slight oily palate. A deserving pairing for Chinese strange flavour chicken or a fat turkey, brie sandwich. Drink now. Points: 93/100

Very light colour with a faint grey tint, the aroma subtle dried flowers/pot-pourri, the palate reserved and light, with a good backbone of tannin and acidity beautifully harmonised with the fruit flavour. Faint echoes of jasmine and spice. The balance is fairly dry, clean and crisply appetising. Points: 90/100

The Real Review ∙ 28th Jan 2024

Gris is often criticized for being anodyne. In these sort of hands, however, it is far from it. A textural gris of mid-weighted succulence and admirable refreshment factor. Aromas of freshly made lemonade, tonic, nashi pear, aniseed and a squeeze of lime, segueing to an effortless linger. Very good drinking. Points: 92/100
