Mt Edward Pinot Blanc 2008
This is a nice little aperitif style wine. It is light in body that has a level of elegance about it. The wine comes through in floral and aromatic spice characters with a creaminess about it, although no barrel influence. It’s a very well structured wine with good sugar levels balanced by the acidity, leaving a clean mouth feel. If you get a chance grab a bottle before they are gone. There’s only few cases left!!!!

So much sun, thank you far north. The NZ Riesling Challenge and Emerson's Pilsner went down a treat in the sunshine.

Summer. Gin and tonic, riesling, rosé and, of course, hoppy craft beer.
