Expert's Choice: New Zealand whites beyond Sauvignon Blanc

Quartz Reef, Pinot Gris, Bendigo, Central Otago 2011 

Lovely ripe pear aromas with a hint of ginger, spice and white stone fruit. Delicately off-dry and crisp on the palate with similar flavours to the nose and a striking minerality that goes on and on. 18pts/20
