A fresh, crisp, clean Italian Pinot Grigio with lime zest and lemon notes on the nose, palate and finish. Racy acidity makes this ideal as a chilled aperitif or companion to fresh seafood, salads and shellfish.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A lovely crisp, dry white wine made from 90% Pinot Grigio and 10% Chardonnay. Lots of pear and citrus make this refreshing and versatile with salads and shellfish. Excellent value.
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A great value on this refreshing and crisp Pinot Girgio. Blending with Chardonnay (just 10%) rounds our the palate and lengthens the finish. Aromas are bright citrus (lemon zest) with a touch of pear and tropical fruit . Perfect to accompany grilled shrimp or other seafood dishes.
Trevor Sabourin - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Fresh and crisp Italian PG (with 10% chardonnay). Generous pineapple, melon, citrus, and orchard fruit on the nose. The medium-light palate leans mostly toward citrus, with a light minerality enhancing the vibrant, refreshing character. Ideal for light seafood dishes (and summertime). Great value.
Sean O'Regan - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Pale straw, the nose shows some pear, honeysuckle and light spice. Light body, fresh and crisp and delicate with light citrus, pear and white peach with a clean short finish. Simple and refreshing.
