2013 Spring Vale Freycinet Coast, Tasmania Pinot Gris

This is a label which looks deliberately aged: from a distance the dripping black paint across the top looks like a tear on paper, the colour of aged paper. The label has a cluster of ye olde nineteenth-century-looking/early white settler images (minus the Indigenous peoples). But I've been looking for years for a pink Tasmanian Pinot Gris that I once had late in the last decade of last century, and I think this is as close as I'm going to get, apart from Victoria's Tar and Roses Pinot Grigio. This is just-so-ever vaguely pink-tinged and, as the label says, very 'moreish'. From the Ballina Dan Murphy's . Something I'd return to.
