Prophets Rock Pinot Gris 2024

The 2024 Pinot Gris jumps out of the glass with aromas of nashi pear, nectarine and orange blossom enveloped by a rich honeycomb note. On the palate, the wine shows a mix of stone fruit and tropical fruits; with crunchy white peach, sweet peckham pear and a zingy pineapple-like acidity creating a lovely balance. The result is a balanced, aromatic Pinot Gris that will is not only moreish on its own, but pairs well with a wide range of cuisine. Cellar with confidence for 10+ years. Prophets Rock

2023 Vintage Review
93 Pts James Suckling 'Aromas of baked pear and saffron, followed by button mushrooms and savory dried herbs. Off-dry, medium-bodied with a vivid acid backbone. Fascinating wine with plenty of zesty complexity.'

The Prophet's Rock operation based at Bendigo produces wines that are distinctively European in character. One must taste and drink them with a perspective of a vigneron in the Rheingau, Riquewihr or in Pommard to appreciate their style. Mike Mulvey set up the label based on fruit from two sites, one in Pisa, the other in Bendigo, in 1999. The arrival of Paul Pujol as winemaker with experience including Alsace, Burgundy and Oregon has cemented the international outlook of the vineyard, winery and the wines. RAYMOND CHAN, raymondchanwinereviews.co.nz
