Ata Rangi Lismore Pinot Gris 2018

The 2018 Lismore Pinot Gris was barrel-fermented in 300- and 500-liter oak and comes in just off-dry, at around five grams per liter residual sugar. It's full-bodied and rich, broad, textural and creamy, with notes of pear and melon and a lingering finish. I'd opt for drinking this wine young.

This is an attractive, fresh-pear and poached-apple style that has plenty of weight and texture with a smooth, long and nicely balanced finish. Drink now. Screw cap.
