The 2013 Lowe Nullo Mountain Pinot Gris is yellow in colour with a deep intensity of expression. It opens to aromatics that remind of pear, lightly floral honey and fresh almonds. The palate is quite weighty, viscous and textural, with flavours reminding of pear, resolving almost to a bread like character. Overall, I found this to be a good quality pinot gris of some interest. The 2013 Lowe Nullo Mountain Sauvignon Blanc is a more challenging wine, and has seen some effort in the winery. In particular, some French oak maturation and lees work. Its aromatics remind of talc, lees and its primary fruit flavours remain in check. The palate is resolutely dry, with bracing acidity and flavours reminding of ripening green melons. More interesting as a style than a hedonist's delight, it shows the challenge of its terroir. Both wines are $30, the pinot gris has alcohol by volume of 14.8% and the sauvignon blanc 13.7%.
