Friarwood Fine Wines Ltd® 2021 Tar & Roses, Pinot Grigio Central Victoria – 7768192516343

ABOUT THE WINE
Born into a grape-growing family, Don Lewis spent 32 years working for the Mitchelton winery in Heathcote, where he forged an enduring partnership with Narelle King. In 2004 Don left Mitchelton to work as a consultant, most notably in Priorat, Spain. His time in Europe cultivated his fascination with the wines of Italy and Spain, and in 2006 he and Narelle set up Tar and Roses in order to show how these varietals could be grown in the diverse terroirs of Central Victoria.

TASTING NOTES
Sourced from three main vineyards providing delightful cool-climate, fresh peach and pear flavours, with hints of tropical fruit flavours. The wine sees a short period of skin-contact, giving it a delicate pink hue and a subtle, spicy edge. A complex yet soft and easy drinking wine.

FOOD PAIRING
Great with calamari, or with nutty salads – a wonderful alternative to rose…

FRIARWOOD SAYS
A million miles from the dull, flavourless standard of most Pinot Grigio wines, this is a delightfully balanced, superbly enjoyable expression of this grape variety.
