FIVE STARS 95/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
The 2023 Phoenix release from Two Rivers overdelivers in every way. From the first swirl, you’re greeted with bright, lifted aromatics of pear, citrus blossom and subtle spice.
The palate is dry and vibrant, with generous fruit, fine texture and a crisp, refreshing finish that makes it perfect for food. It’s a natural with Asian cuisine, seafood or anything with a gentle chilli kick, but just as enjoyable on its own with good company and sunshine.
If you’re after a flavour-packed, food-friendly white that punches well above its weight — this is your wine.
Top value. Top pick. Go long.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "It's finely expressed on the nose, showing Asian pear, rockmelon, Gala apple, and lemon peel nuances. The palate delivers excellent weight and focus, splendidly framed by fleshy texture and bright acidity, finishing wonderfully long and succulent."
The winery writes "Golden straw in colour with fresh aromas of pear, toasted pine nuts, and lifted Turkish delight awaken your senses. Fresh stone fruit roasted almond flavours mingle with wild herbs. This multi-layered Pinot Gris is opulent yet clean, bright and juicy. The wine’s poised, beautiful texture leads to a well-balanced, persistent finish."
