Pale greenish yellow. Nose has notes of white flowers, citrus and tree fruits. Moderate acidity (6/10) and light bodied. Shortish finish but crisp and refreshing. Perfect summer wine. Drink till 2019.

The website claims that the wine tastes “the way Pinot Grigio used to taste before it became so popular.” That statement probably lost something in the translation from Italian, but I get their drift.
This Pinot Grigio is, in fact, “not your standard” stuff. The pale golden wine is aromatic enough, with a floral sensibility and a prominent overlay of minerals. A smoky character clouds those flowers and a basket of limes joins the aroma of wet rocks. The palate is pretty exciting, and I don’t have to qualify that statement with “for a Pinot Grigio.” It’s loaded with lemon and lime zest and strident acidity with a delicious salinity on the finish.
