Previous releases have been quirky enough but 2019 Wayward Child Pinot Gris seriously “ups the ante” on over the top funk.

The wine is cloudy with an earthy deep orange colour. Orange zest, tart fruit, and ample floral notes dominate the nose and palate. This wine is all about the grip and texture and is the perfect wine to accompany food you think you need a beer with. (Think fish and chips, spicy Thai, spicy Mexican, anything rich and fatty.) The wine is initially quite shy in the glass so give it some time to open up.

This Wayward Child is doing a science experiment whilst cranking some 70’s funk. Delicious, unusual, and made in small quantities.
