Pinot Gris (aka Pinot Grigio) is a far more exciting variety than Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand's most famous white grape. Unlike the Italian Pinot Grigio you may be more used to drinking, the Kiwi version (and indeed those from the USA) is much richer in style. So rather than citrus and apple fruit, these wines show ripe tropical fruit eg mango and papaya.
This ALDI version shows all the typical tropical fruit with a hint of ginger spice. However, as is to be expected at this price point, there's not much else going on. That's not an enormous criticism, in fact if you're normally an Italian Pinot Grigio drinker you'll probably enjoy this! Either way, it went down very well with tonight's sticky honey & soy chicken.
Happy Swigging!
