Frequently asked about Hidden Spring Pinot Gris
What does Hidden Spring Pinot Gris taste like?
Packed full of tropical fruit with a floral honeysuckle nose and a flinty minerality, then pear, apricot, honey and grapefruit on the palate with a creamy complexity and an exuberant finish.
Is it dry or off-dry?
Hidden Spring presents it as a dry still white; the honey and tropical fruit come from ripeness rather than residual sugar.
How does it compare with Sussex's other Pinot Gris?
It is richer and more tropical than Stopham's off-dry style and fuller than Artelium's lean, pollen-scented version, so it suits richer food.
