A rich, full bodied, barrel fermented style of Pinot Gris from one of the country's few, true specialists with the grape. Ostler Audrey's is an off-dry, luscious style of Pinot Gris with enormous complexity and richness, it's almost decadent with a hint of flinty, mineral complexity on the long finish. 6 months on lees gives added bready, nutty richness to the pear and stone fruits, the wine positively crying out for a piece of pork belly or stir fry with ginger.

aromas of peach skin, nectarines, warm pear tart with a magic combination of the fruit and crisp, warm pastry giving way to honeysuckle, freshly cut straw, cinnamon, sandalwood, and nutty nuisances.

A rich, oily style of Pinot Gris, a creamy mid-palate texture balanced by the nutty, vanilla, and grapefruit, oak flavours. Ripe golden Queen peaches burst onto the tastebuds with brioche giving way to bready notes on the finish. An excellent balance of fruit richness, viscosity, moderate acidity, and a delicious long, lingering aftertaste. Very tasty now and too tasty to resist but will cellar for 2-3 years. The previous vintage was awarded Top Rank Wine by The Real Review, and we are sure this vintage will follow hotly behind…
