Taste & Critical Acclaim: An unexpectedly delightful Pinot Grigio. The aroma showcases fresh notes of crisp fruits like nectarine and Williams pear, complemented by subtle hints of broom. The flavor is satisfyingly gratifying and exceptionally fresh.
Critic tasting note: (2022 vintage) "Honey, almonds, apricot stones and hints of cheese on the nose. Creamy and textured, with a medium body and juicy finish. Drink now." - James Suckling
Pairing: When pairing food with this wine, it's best to focus on dishes that complement its bright acidity, fresh fruit flavors, and subtle minerality. Light seafood dishes such as grilled shrimp, seared scallops, or lemony white fish enhance the wine’s citrus notes and crisp finish. Creamy pastas or risottos, particularly those with citrus, seafood, or light cheeses, balance their acidity while allowing their delicate floral aromas to shine. The wine’s mineral edge makes it an excellent match for fresh salads with citrus vinaigrette, goat cheese, arugula, and lightly seasoned poultry dishes, such as roasted chicken or turkey. Avoid overly spicy or heavily sauced dishes that might overpower its refined structure. Instead, focus on fresh, simple ingredients that allow the wine’s elegant fruit, acidity, and minerality to complement the dish rather than compete with it.
