Airlie Bank Gris on Skins | Yarra Valley - 2023 coming soon
Super pretty berries and vanilla on the nose, the palate shows sweet musk and pear, rounded out with savory grippiness and a hint of funk (that’s the skin fermentation at play). Its crisp acidity makes it a great match for food. 10% off straight dozens plus FREE shipping with code ROSE23 at checkout (when you select the 12 bottle shipping option).
