    Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio
    Fresh, vibrant, fruit driven style with a sound but quite light and simple varietal palate. Good wine.

    A lot of Chardonnay drinkers are now turning to the pinot grigio style and that has resulted in more and more coming onto the market. Wakefield has a nice drop in its 2010 vintage and once again they have kept the price right. It has melon, apple and pear flavours and is a crisp refreshing wine.

    Attractive honeyed citrus fruit aromas and light, lingering, well balanced crunchy fruit flavours.

    Delightful Wines
    YouÆve got to love a fresh, lively white wine thatÆs full of flavour û particularly a well priced one. ItÆs crisp and refreshing with punchy apple, pear and watermelon flavours and lashings of lively acidity. ItÆs the perfect choice for a long, lazy summer afternoon in the backyard, or for taking to a BYO when you have no idea what youÆll be eating û although it would be particularly good, served well chilled, with fish and chips.

    Delightful wine with loud flowery citrus sherbet-like aromas and very, very long, intense and powerful perfumed palate with spicy citrus flavours. Very pure, very nice. Good cellaring potential.

    Drinks Arrival
    With pinot grigio tipped as this summer's next big thing, the Taylor's Promised Land version doesn't disappoint. The wine displays delicious notes pear and apple on the nose, with a zesty and zingy lemon palate. This is a Wine for the punter who isn't looking for anything complicated; a refreshing drink-now style that may have drinkers coming back for more.

    Fresh pear and melon with a touch of apple crumble makes a reasonably complex aroma. The palate is fresh and slightly fleshy with warm, fruit flavours. Good current drinking

  • A fresh new drop or two NV

    A fresh new drop or two
    The Taylor family has released two new Promised Land white wines in time for summer. The Promised Land Moscato and Promised Land Pinot Grigio represent wine styles that are growing in popularity in Australia and are perfect for warm-weather drinking. The lower-alcohol Moscato displays aromas of mango and fruit salad with a hint of candy and rose water. The Pinot Grigio has a fresh bouquet of subtle pear and apple characteristics along with a hint of lemon zest.
