Iris Pinot Gris 2026 750ml

WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS: 

Lifted aromas of ripe pear, nashi and red apple skin are complemented by hints of ginger and spice. Flavours of nectarine and citrus are balanced by refreshing acidity, while gentle floral notes and a touch of minerality add complexity. Medium-bodied and off dry with a silky texture and long, persistent finish.
