Regarding Pinot Gris/Grigio: I am so favouring, but not
totally, a pink-tinged Pinot Gris. I have rarely come across, if ever, a bad
pink-tinged Pinot Gris or Grigio. My most recent discovery in this category is
the rewarding 2017 Empress Joanna Vineyard Pinot Gris (god knows what that is
named for: the Dylan song 'Visions of Joanna'?) from South Australia's
Limestone Coast's Terra Rossa: an Andrew Peace wine. It's very drinkable! Its
palate is salt water (also in its perfume), nuts and fizz. But I cannot find it
sensibly on the web. I also recommend Logan Clementine Pinot Gris and Tar and
Roses Grigio. The 2016 Sirromet Vineyard Selection Granite Belt Pinot Gris,
although blood red in colour, smells of burnt Turkish delight or roses and
tastes of dry butterscotch with pepper and possibly geranium. Also, do buy the
2016 Mojo Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris with its ballet pink tinge. It smells of
pear, and is dry and tart on the palate, possibly suited to sushi.
