FIVE STARS 93/100 | Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
93/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
91/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Hands down one of the best blended white wines in the New Zealand market (and a wine that some of the Advintage staff have been obssesed with over the years).
The 2023 blend of 66% pinot gris and 34% viognier is deliciously creamy and beautifully balanced. Enjoy Le Phant Blanc by itself or with a the catch of the day. Stunning drop. Climb in.

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Elegantly composed and expressed, the wine shows white flesh peach, crunchy apple, lemon peel, and floral aromas on the nose with a hint of oatmeal. The palate delivers delicate texture and fine flow, well supported by bright acidity, finishing lingering and mouth-watering."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Made with 66% Pinot Gris and 33% Viognier the bouquet of this wine showcases a floral and fruit impact then scents of apricots and pear, white spice and clay mineral quality. The time on lees layers in both breadth and complexity. The real story of this wine is on the palate, spice laden with a core white fleshed fruits from peach to pear then apricot. Phenolics are an important feature tickling mid and back palate with texture."
Candice Chow writes "Bright, even, pale yellow with a slight green hue. The nose is gently full, with aromas of orchard fruit, white floral, stonefruit and delicate spice. Medium-bodied, aromas of baked apple and pear melded with greengage, white floral and five-spice. The fruit is juicy and supported by refreshing acidity; an unctuous mouthfeel provides texture and frame to the pure fruit expression. Pure and refreshing. Match with pork stir-fry and steamed chicken over the next 3 years."
