Natalie's Score: 90/100

A crisp, refreshing white that opens with aromas of green apple, pear, and lemon zest, touched by a hint of white blossom. It’s light-bodied, dry, and bright on the palate, with 12% alcohol and a clean, zesty finish that makes it endlessly drinkable. Serve it well-chilled to highlight its lively acidity and citrus edge. Fascinating fact: Pelee Island Winery is Canada’s southernmost estate, located on an island in Lake Erie with a unique microclimate that provides one of the country’s longest growing seasons—perfect for producing fresh, aromatic whites. This Pinot Grigio is best enjoyed young, within 2–3 years, for its pure fruit and crisp character. You can order this wine directly from the winery at www.peleeisland.com.

Pinot Grigio food pairings: grilled lemon-garlic chicken skewers, where the wine’s acidity matches the citrus and balances the char. Or serve it with a classic margarita pizza, its simplicity allowing the Pinot Grigio’s clean, refreshing style to shine.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Light, crisp, and refreshing Pinot Grigio, with aromas of crisp lemon-lime, and a hint of white pepper. Light bodied, with fresh citrus flavours, and a clean finish with a hint of spice. Enjoy with any seafood or shellfish.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
