I find discussions about the names of grape varieties boring and not very helpful. Is everything named Syrah really cool climate? Is everything named Pinot Grigio like the light Italian style or Pinot Gris like the Alsace examples? So let us just look what is in the bottle, in this case the 2021 Innocent Bystander Pinot Gris from the Yarra Valley.
The colour of this young wine has a green tinge, and it kind of translates to the palate, where the main flavour is pear, supported by green apple and a dash of lemon. This wine delivers a fairly full mouthfeel and is a little broad. However, the fruit is balanced by lively acidity driving the wine to a decent finish.
Score: 90/++
