The Lane Vineyard Block 2 Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris.

A recent great-pleasure-wine-drinking experience came from a Christmas gift: The Lane Vineyard Block 2 Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris. It’s pale in colour, with a hint of pink tinge in its yellowness, a beautiful perfume of barely there musk and pineapple, and subtle sweet pea. There’s a sense of fizz/sugar-spun in the mouth like a waterfall, river run, froth and swirl. It would be a good slow-drinking wine with friends in summer in a hotel garden or by the sea. ‘Drink it in’ says the label. And I think that. At the bottom of that label, there’s a little square of the latter two numbers of the year in silver.
