The Rude Mechanicals Ephemera Viognier Pinot Gris - A Pinot Gris and Viognier blend...they dovetail together to produce a wonderfully snug fit.
On the nose there are scents of super-ripe pineapple and guava rising over the honeysuckle and orange-blossom signatures of the Viognier, harmonizing beautifully with background fragrances of musk and pear from the Pinot Gris. The palate is voluptuous with tropical-fruit flavours, subtle fresh hints of lemongrass and spicy ginger. The palate retains bright focus and length, becoming fine and long as the Pinot Gris takes over, showing the savory elegance, and snappy-clean acidity, of pear and apple. Behind this wild potpourri of tropical magic, supple oak adds extra textural richness to the finish.
