Tasting Notes

Appearance

Pale straw with a subtle green hue, displaying brilliant clarity and a pristine appearance. The wine's delicate colour reflects the hyper-oxidation technique used prior to fermentation to remove bronze and copper tones, resulting in the characteristic pale profile of quality Pinot Grigio whilst maintaining freshness and vibrancy.

Aroma

The bouquet opens with vibrant citrus notes complemented by a delicate floral undertone that adds elegance and complexity. A touch of green apple provides freshness, whilst subtle hints of ripe pear and zesty citrus emerge alongside delicate notes of spice, creating an inviting aromatic profile that showcases the wine's purity and careful winemaking.

Palate

Fresh and pleasantly textural, the palate delivers bright citrus and green apple flavours with excellent balance. A fresh acid line provides vibrancy and structure, whilst the textural finish reflects the wine's four months on fine lees—a technique that intensifies flavours and adds body. A percentage of the wine was fermented in French barrels, contributing subtle complexity, whilst the majority was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit's purity. The result is a lively, smooth wine with a creamy finish that exemplifies quality Riverina Pinot Grigio.

Pairs With

Perfect for light, fresh dishes, this versatile Pinot Grigio pairs beautifully with baked fish or grilled seafood, light pasta dishes with cream or pesto, Caesar salad, prawn cocktail, chicken piccata, and fresh goat's cheese, whilst its crisp acidity also complements sushi and Vietnamese rice paper rolls.
