Craggy Range ‘Otago Station’ Waitaki Valley
Pinot Gris 2009 ( 17.5-/20) was
13.6% alc and 6.0 g/l rs. Straw yellow
with some depth to the colour, this was quite Pinot Grigio in style with its
steely, flinty, kernel nose and dry, crisp, minerally palate. Elegant and delicate, this possessed an unctuous
mouthfeel underneath. RC Feb 10
Craggy Range ‘Otago Station’ Pinot Gris 2008 (17.5/20), a wine still to be released. At 13.9% alc., and subtle barrel and lees work, this possessed great varietal characters, pears, stonefruits and a touch f spice on the nose. Dry, softer, warmer on the palate, with sufficient acidity and grip, this had yet to come together here. RC Oct 08
