PDF		 2008 Brokenwood Pinot Gris
The Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide 2010
by Nick Stock

A light bronze colour in the glass, as this variety can be, it shows nice ripeness and richness with orange marmalade and cooler pear fruits, a light peppery note here too. The palate has a smooth coat of sweet, ripe fruit and nicely judged acidity punching thtough gently sweet flavour. An each-way bet in style terms.

 2008 Brokenwood Pinot Gris
WINE 100, Australia's Leading Independent Wine Guide


Pinot Gris of this calibre is exceedingly rare, particularly at this price. It has delightful complexity of fresh pear, baked apple, honey and cloves and - crucially - perfect poise, zesty structure, driving minerality and great persistence.

 2006 Brokenwood Pinot Gris
The Port Douglas and Mosman Gazette
by Jeff Gale

The 2006 Pinot Gris, made the by the esteemed Brokenwood Wines, is handcrafted using grapes from
their Beechworth vineyard in North East Victoria. The wine displays flavours of peach, nectarine and
honeysuckle with a touch of aromatic sweet spice. The mouth filling richness of the wine will match perfectly with the grilled barramundi and rich pork belly, with the crisp acidity leaving the palate cleansed.
Delicious!

 2006 Brokenwood Pinot Gris
Seniors Newsletter - Gold Coast / www.webwombat.com.au
by Paul Ippolito

Every winemaker is seemingly making Pinot Gris. This is one of the better examples I have come across lately. A pale straw white youthful wine emanating from grapes from the Beechworth region in Northern Victoria. Aromatic and pure as well as being luscious. Vibrant fresh fruit abounds. Think pears, almonds, hints of musk spice and oranges with hints of lemon and lime. Smooth, soft, well rounded and above all delicious. Really nice drinking. Try it with seafood risotto.
