This is a fruity Pinot Grigio that leads with lime, pineapple rind, lychee and honeysuckle. It's a little on the candied side, but plenty will find it appealing. Acidity on the palate is crisp and bright, buoying a creamy, fruity mouthfeel. A bitter melon-rind note shows on the finish. Christina Pickard
