Description

Standing out of the grey crowd. This is something we all long for. An appreciative glance, a kind word, an honest tap on the shoulder. This little “grey friend” (‘Pinot Gris’ is ‘Szürkebarát’ in Hungarian, literally ‘Grey Friend’) arrives smoothly at the first sip, well, it is about getting to know each other. Then its talkative body is enchanting you with citrus fruits, creamy caramel, pear and mineral notes. Its “fierce” look can stand the heat, and the acidity will not burn. You smoothly take off of the elegant gown of subtlety and pour another glass. This one is to cheer to you!
