Tasting Notes
The Lieu dit Bux Pinot Gris 2015 from Dirler-Cadé estate has a pale golden colour.
On the nose it comes through with rubber and wet stone plus a round lemon curd note, it also has the freshness of white flowers. There is a hint of basil. It’s mineral. A complex, lovely nose.
On the mouth it’s viscous, round, full yet fresh.
On the palate there are compensate the the fullness of the wine. Bitter almond on the finish which is long and persistent.
It’s a great wine, demi-sec so it’s skewed towards a round, viscous sweetness well balanced with its freshness. Great with spicy food.

Pinot gris
White wine grape
A white wine grape variety of the species Vitis vinifera, Pinot gris, pinot grigio, or Grauburgunder is a white wine grape variety of the species Vitis vinifera. It is thought to be a pinot noir mutant clone with a grayish-blue fruit, hence the name, but the grapes can range in color from brownish pink to black and even white. The grapes grow in small pine cone-shaped clusters, which may have given it the name pinot. This grape’s wines range in color from a deep golden yellow to copper and even a light shade of pink, and it’s one of the most common grapes for skin-contact wine.
