Here’s a Pinot Gris that knows it is indeed a Gris, not a masquerading Grigio. Ara Wines are distributed into Australia by Oatley Wines.  

Ara, Single Estate, Pinot Gris, Marlborough, 2015

Very lightly onion skin colour from skin contact. Aromas of grilled stone fruit, baked pear, roast chicken (skin on) flesh, bush honey. Manages to heft out a weighty palate without being oily. Honeyed baked pomme and stone fruits and finishing with fine, underpinning acidity. A rich style executed well.
