2010 Wright Robertson Glencoe Snow Gums Pinot Gris Gewurztraminer

This is a New England wine. Gewurztraminer is making an appearance in a number of wines and is not to be confused with something necessarily sweet. This is an excellent combination made by the New England winemaker Scott Wright for a pinot gris with that lovely slight pink tinge. The website says the winery was 'excited to have produced this ... blend'. In colour it is pale salmon, pink-tinged white gold, or a copper-shot gold suffusing it - the best colour a pinto gris can be. There is orange in its perfume. In the mouth it's like drinking salmon silk and red oranges with some mustard. $22
