Natalie's Score: 91/100

Makes my mouth water just smelling it! Lovely white peach and melon with mouth-watering acidity for food. Very refreshing as an aperitif or companion to many dishes from seafood to salads. Very classic aromas and flavours here for a cool climate region. Some toasted almond on the finish. Great wine for potluck gatherings.

Pinot Gris food pairings: seafood, salads, basil pesto, radicchio, Chinese rice porridge.

Momo is one of those brand names that immediately gets the mouth watering, and why not? Across their portfolio, they offer nothing but deliciousness. Their 2012 Pinot Gris steps up to the plate and offers a wonderful nose of toast, spice, lime and mineral. The palate is rich and ripe with great replays and big fruit displayed in broad and flavourful strokes. An excellent mineral-rich finish. Source: Vintages Wine Panel, Nov. 2012

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
