2023 Elephant Hill Le Phant Blanc

Critic tasting note: (2023 vintage) "Bright, even, pale yellow with a slight green hue. The nose is gently full, with aromas of orchard fruit, white floral, stonefruit and delicate spice. Medium-bodied, aromas of baked apple and pear melded with greengage, white floral and five-spice. The fruit is juicy and supported by refreshing acidity; an unctuous mouthfeel provides texture and frame to the pure fruit expression. Pure and refreshing. Match with pork stir-fry and steamed chicken over the next 3 years. Fruit from the Sea vineyard in Te Awanga, 66% Pinot Gris, 33% Viognier, mostly handpicked and whole bunch pressed, fermented and aged in light lees in tank for 18 months. 12.5% alc." - Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
