Normally, the prospect of drinking Australian Pinot Gris doesn&#8217;t thrill me, but this wine is different. Neil showed his commitment to it by planting 6 hectares, which along with 4 hectares of Pinot Noir constitutes his vine holdings here. It has energy, life and complexity, and I&#8217;m very impressed. Neil&#8217;s day job is farming Wagyu beef at his parents&#8217; property in Gippsland, where he also has the Moondarra vineyard. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Holly&#8217;s Garden Pinot Gris 2013 Victoria, Australia<br \/>\n<\/strong>12.5% alcohol. Very distinctive honeyed, spicy, grapey nose with a bit of smokiness. The palate is textured and ripe yet fresh with ripe apples, citrus, some honey and some grapey richness. Lovely mineral notes and good complexity, in a dry style. Thought provoking and an amazing bargain. 92\/100 (UK agent Indigo Wines; Noel Young stock this for \u00a311.99)<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neil Prentice&#8217;s Holly&#8217;s Garden wines are made from biodynamically tended vines grown in Whitlands, Victoria, at 750 m altitude.
