Blind Spot Pinot Gris 2014

Sent to me by The Wine Society to try, this is one of a new range of wines made exclusively for them by Mac Forbes, a great Australian winemaker. He’s scooped up a few limited quantity parcels of wine that might have otherwise been missed, ending up as part of a bigger blend. This gorgeous Pinot Gris (same grape as Pinot Grigio, just a different name) is from the King Valley in South Australia and tastes of apples and pears. Definitely more interesting than most Pinot Grigio wines I’ve tasted recently – and way better than my wee wine could ever possibly be.
