Seifried Nelson 2011 Pinot Gris

This Pinot Gris is from the Nelson region of New Zealand. The color is a very pale hint of yellow seen only on the curvature of the glass. The fragrance of this wine reminds me of spring. Spring is always a welcome and pleasant thought no matter where you live in the world. I can sense a mix of fresh mowed grass, apples, spice and blooming flowers.

It has a light to medium body which I always welcome. Maybe its all the water I drink during the day that makes me always seek out and appreciate a wine with some weight. 🙂 I know right away that this is a great wine. Its very smooth, full of flavors (pepper, lemon, lime and florals) with a hint of sweetness. Highly recommended. 9/10 points. You can order this wine viatastingroom.com for $16.99 or via your favorite wine store.

Cheers!
