The Brancott Estate ‘F’ Fairhall Vineyard Pinot Gris wine is part of the Letter series range at the higher end of the Marlborough-based winery’s offering and described by the producer as a range of New Zealand wines that are “hand-crafted from grapes sourced from top-performing Marlborough vineyards“.
Tasting Notes: Very intense aromas of white peach, apricot, and pear. It’s also very floral with a touch of sweet spices and Riesling-like petroleum notes.
Enjoyable off-dry and mid-bodied wine, silken texture, and packed full with intense flavors. Slight petillance just after pouring. Quite long on petrol notes.
Food pairing: have it on its own as aperitif, or with delicate sea food entrées.
