Piedra Negra Pinot Gris, Alta Colección, Valle de Uco, Lurton 2018
TW00818
Rare in Argentina, the Lurtons harvest this variety first each year to retain the delicate bouquet and the rich complex flavours of peaches, apricots and raisins. Delicious and interesting.

| Press Reviews |
Produced by Francois Lurton, of the great Bordeaux dynasty, in Mendoza, Argentina, this is something of an oddity. Francois ordered Chardonnay cuttings from France, was sent Pinot Gris by mistake, planted it anyway and was taken aback by how well it grew at altitude. The result is fresh, soft, creamy, peachy, slightly peppery, dry on the finish and completely delicious. |
