Two single vineyard whites from New Zealand's Yealands
After making a short video on the topic of Yealands, inspired by five of their wines, Yealands sent me a few more bottles to try.
From the entry-level to the very top, all the wines are characterised by a freshness, purity and balance that makes them sophisticated and adept, yet all-too-easy to enjoy.
Yealands Estate Single Vineyard Pinot Gris 2016 aromatic and complex nose with ripe tropical fruits, sweet spices and a rich fatness. Waxy and full, yet fresh and mineral.
Good.
Match the richness with Alsatian food, such as tarte flambée or paté.
Yealands Estate Single Vineyard P.G.R 2016 a blend of Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Riesling; dieselly nose, white stone fruits and ripe pineapple; sweet spices and limey freshness. Well made and easy-drinking.
Match the zippy freshness with soused fish or caesar salad.
