This wine is fresh, energetic and vibrant. The pale-yellow colour hand out the citrus profile – that lemon peel, green apple and crispy pear accompanied by savory tones like blanched almonds, black tea and a note of fresh sage. When you taste the wine, the first thing you notice is that striking zesty acidity, which is alluring.

On the palate its character remains fresh – characteristics like white nectarine, cantaloupe, aniseed and honeysuckle attend the aromas earlier picked up on the nose. The texture and complexity of the wine reveals the use of skin contact. This light bodied wine represents everything that it should – it is a wonderful appetizer drink and perfect to drink cold on a hot summer day.

The aim for this Pinot Grigio is to reflect its freshness and energy, that is why the focus was on the sugar levels in the picking season. To avoid colour extraction, the cool destemmed fruit was not crushed but pressed immediately with a press enzyme that is used for juice extraction.

Before fermentation the juice was fined and clarified to remove turbidity, then settled and filtered. To add texture a portion of a rose Pinot Grigio was added before bottling.
