Colour: Pale straw with light grey hue.
Nose: Pure fresh pear and effusive melon and apricot on the nose and fresh floral scents weaving their way across the white fruit spectrum.
Entry: Just like biting into a fresh pear, more Nashi than other varieties, slightly chilled of course. Crisp and fine.
Middle Palate: Surprisingly soft considering the zingy start and following tight finish..
After Palate: The fresh acidity coupled with an enticing spice quality through the back-end of the palate make this a really interesting but refreshing.
Finish: A seamless and zingy pure fruit finish. Refreshing flavoursome and fine.
In Summary: All in all a pure pear Pinot Gigio with excellent lifted smells and deft acidity that make it the perfect aperitif of wine for shellfish. Delicate and delightful.
Zonte’s Footstep has been on a quest to find and grow the world’s best white varieties for more than a decade. Our Pinot Grigio is named Doctoressa Di Lago, or Lake Doctor, a the vineyard is on the shores of Lake Alexandrina where, each summer afternoon, the house cooling breeze of our “Doctoressa di Lago” arrives and revives vines and vignerons alike.
