Made from fruit from the Murray Darling region that straddles the Murray River to embrace part of north-western Victoria and western New South Wales, this is a more than rewarding drop that’s both light and fresh, and has a flavoursome palate of crunchy nashi pear, white peach and hints of zingy lemon/lime. The La La Land 2015 Pinot Gris makes for a perfect match with sushi, fish tacos or a butter chicken.

Bright straw-yellow colour, a little lighter on the rim. This has a full nose with good depth of tightly packed, ripe yellow stonefruit aromas with an amalgam of florals, honeysuckle and minerally lees adding layers of interest. Dry to taste and medium-full bodied, the palate is soft and rounded with deep flavours of yellow stonefruits melded with yellow florals, savoury honeysuckle, nutty nuances and minerals. This has a fine-textured core providing a guiding line, and the acidity is soft and integrated. The wine has plenty of palate presence and weight and carries to a lingering finish with mineral notes. This is a full, rounded, well-concentrated dry Pinot Gris with yellow stonefruit and hints of honeysuckle and minerals in the Alsace style. Match with most white meat dishes over the next 3+ years. 17.5/20
