Piccolo Pinot Gris 2022

$32.00

From the vast lexicon of b/s available for wine tasting notes we think the most appropriate (if a little pompous) for our 2022 Piccolo Pinot Gris is, yes, opulent.  This focuses on its rich texture which results from a few years of bottle age, and a hint of fruit shrivel and botrytis – which is down to the deliberately delayed harvesting.  Unlike the often anaemic character of many Itallian Pinot Grigios which labels them as accessibly priced “vins ordinaire”, Piccolo has some nice spicy notes which partner comfortably with the underlying apple/pear/stone fruit.

At 3.6 g/litre residual sugar you get a dry finish.  Our kitchen team go for antipasto, poultry and spicy Asian cuisine. For those who claim self-discipline you can stash this vintage under your bed for a couple more years. 

Wouldn’t suit what some US satirist is now calling “baby girl” Trump  -“ he’s just too peevish, irritable and pampered” to appreciate proper wine.
