92 POINTS | Cameron Douglas MS
All the Ara wines have impressed us but our team (and a large number of our customers) have become smitten with this plush and textural Marlborough Pinot Gris. The Ara range falls under the wider Giesen stable of wines and we think this 2021 Gris is the standout in their current line up. It's a full bodied style with weight and presence in the mouth and a palate that overflows with spicy pear and ripe citrus flavours. The initial taste has some fruit sweetness but the fresh tangy finish balances that perfectly and the flavours go on and on.
Bright elegant lemon-and-lime sorbet aromas with notes of bright juicy pears that flow through to the palate. Breezy, energetic, juicy and enjoyable. A fresh wine with great transparency.
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Robust, fruity and varietal bouquet wuth aromas of sweet brown pear and apple, some white spice and white nectarine scents. Vibrant and fruity on the palate with flavours of white-fleshed tree fruit and citrus, white pepper and a fine lees complexity. Balanced, well made and crisp."

Wish I could give it more stars
We love this Pinot Gris! So delicious. It was out of stock and we were very disappointed in ourselves for not buying more. Glad you've gotten it back!
