2015 Erste Neue - Pinot Grigio Alto Adige (86 pts)

2015 Erste Neue - Pinot Grigio Alto Adige (86 pts) #winereview - Pale lemon color. Medium intensity on the nose. Aromas of yellow apple, quince, lemon zest, lemon custard, yogurt, and a slight floral soapy note (iris?). The wine is dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol feeling a bit hot on the palate, and medium body with a good creamy texture from lees aging. The palate is lemon meringue, lemon zest, yellow apple, pear, quince, and yogurt. The finish is medium- length. The wine reads a touch hot likely due to vintage. The flavors are straight forward and pleasant it won't wow anyone but is definitely better than a lot of other Pinot Grigios on the market. #italy #altoadige #s üdtirol #pinotgrigio #ersteneue #wineterroir #winegeek #winelover #winetasting #wine
