Misha’s Vineyard ‘Dress Circle’ Pinot Gris 2023 (12 bottles) Central Otago

Description

Misha’s Vineyard Dress Circle Pinot Gris 2023 comes from the middle terrace of the Bendigo vineyard in Central Otago. Aromas of dried fruit and toasted hazelnut lead into a dry, luscious palate of nectarine, pear, orange zest and cinnamon, with ginger adding complexity to the long finish. The fruit was whole-bunch pressed; part of the wine was fermented in older French oak with indigenous yeast. Sam Kim rated the 2023 vintage 94 points.
