Wine Review: We were recently impressed by this Pinot Grigio offering from down under. This straw colored wine opens with a light pineapple like bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is well balanced, velvety, and displays nice texture for a Pinot Grigio. The flavor profile was that of a tasty ripe pear. The finish is dry, very refreshing, and lingers nicely. The group I showed this wine too really enjoyed it. It would pair well with grilled scallops or steamed mussels. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: COLOUR: Brilliant pale straw. BOUQUET: Hazelnut, pear, nutmeg. PALATE: Lemon meringue pie, silk sheets! STYLE: Not Alsace with 12 grams of residual sugar. Pure fruit and 2 grams!
