Domaine Jean Sipp, Pinot Gris Réserve, Alsace, France, 2018

This wine is just bursting with fresh, ripe pear flavours both on the nose and palate. It’s soft and smooth, rich and round but not too heavy, with delicate acidity and notes of bruised apple and an off-dry honeyed sweetness. This is a wine for food – it’s not for idly sipping but for savouring and tasting the nuances with something delicious to eat, such game. A wine that delivers more than its price suggests.
