Drumsara 2017 Dry Pinot Grigio (Central Otago)
The label on this 2017 Otago wine states that it is a “dry Pinot Grigio,” but its honeyed opulence, fruit forwardness and bottle age give an impression of sweetness, even a slight one. It opens with bright lemon-lime, peach and ginger notes, with a honeyed underbelly and a slight kerosene note. The palate is slippery with concentrated lemon and honey notes and a lovely lift of citrusy acidity. Sip with salty young cheese or a spicy Thai curry. Christina Pickard
