Domain Road

Domain Road 'Defiance' Pinot Gris 2016 Bannockburn, Central Otago
Ripe and quite fleshy bouquet with juicy, fresh mandarin, lime and lemon then a white spice and mineral layer. On the palate - crisp, fresh, balanced, fruity and dry; flavours of citrus and crunchy fridge cold apple, some jasmine and a hint of white spice. Nice example in a dry style with plenty of acidity and fine textures; great as an aperitif and with white fish sashimi. Drink now and through 2025.

Domain Road Pinot Noir Rosé 2016 Bannockburn, Central Otago
Plush and fruity with suggestions of light red berry fruits and red apple skin; fragrant and welcoming bouquet. On the palate - equally fruity with some vibrant acidity and super fine tannins, a light red floral layer adds charm and some depth. Balanced and well made in a drink now style and through 2019.

88 Points
