De Canal Pinot Grigio 2010

Out of Stock
Pinot Grigio has been a remarkable success for the northern areas of Italy, it is not a style in the French Alsace version but rather very unique Italian. They can vary from regional style to single vineyard and riservas. This is not a riserva however it is incredible to find a wine of this sort of quality especially at the price. We were a little concerned about the actual price and we tried it 3 times just to make sure. Crisp, flinty and incredibly fresh, slightly oily with a touch of fig and pear. Beautiful acidity, lovely middle palate, you could imagine yourself drinking some of this during summer with some fish or an anti-pasto. It has to be said at $16.95 it might sound unreal but this is the real deal, it’s quite superb!

Mezza Corona Pinot Grigio Riserva 2009
08/08/08
NZD $26.95 NZD $24.95
Our new arrival of our most popular Pinot Grigio, we have literally sold 100s of cases and once you try it is quite easy to understand why. The north east of Italy where this particular Pinot Grigio is from produces some outstanding cool climate white wines. It is crisp, light and delicate, slightly oily with hints of Turkish delight, pine nuts and some lovely acidity. If you are tired of semi-sweet heavy Pinot Gris, this is for you, refreshing, flinty and mineral, excellent with food or without and drinking well now or over the next couple of years.

Monte Forte Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay 2005
08/08/08
NZD $19.95
Out of Stock
One of the great classic blends in Italy, made from a majority of Pinot Grigio and a little Chardonnay from a superb vintage such as 2005. This particular area has been very well known for many years for producing outstanding Soave, Pinot Grigio etc. It's dry and crisp with a bouquet of pine nuts, dry herbs and ripe pear but yet still remaining fresh, clean, fruity and aromatic. Medium to full bodied, it's a wine that will develop well for the next couple of years but is outstanding at the moment with fish, white meats etc.

Carpene Malvolti Rosé Brut
08/08/08
NZD $39.95 NZD $34.95
From the region of Veneto, northern Italy, Carpene Malvolti has been producing sparkling wine since 1860, one of the longest histories in the production of sparkling wine. This is made from Pinot Nero and Raboso. The blend of these two varieties along with a slow fermentation in pressurised tanks has produced an intensely perfumed and floral wine. Wonderful refined bubbles with a delicate bouquet yet full rounded flavour, bright pink in colour with crimson highlights, very refreshing, vibrant and fresh.
