STOCKMAN'S RIDGE 'RIDER' PINOT GRIS 2023 ($30 / Orange NSW)
94/100 PointsInitial nose of guava and mandarins leads to a fulsome, fresh palate of peach and licks of hay reflective of the wild yeast and lees stirring treatment.
It is generous and smooth in its varietal fruit delivery and textural mouthfeel.
This is another very enjoyable wine from the team of Jonathan Hambrook and Will Rikard-Bell.
It's a Pinot Gris to be enjoyed whilst in its current primacy and liveliness...a vivacious vinous fruit salad in a wine glass!
