I have very little confidence that what i say 'works' in the wine world... Nevertheless, this was a delicious pairing with a Brazilian Dungeness crab stew curtesy of Sitka Salmon Shares.

Tried for the first time and was more than happy. A captivating aroma (now well settled after short bottle age) that draws you back for another whiff time and again. True to variety in aroma and taste - fresh, mouth watering, long tasting and with a firmish finish that begs for food. We enjoyed this pre-dinner with duck 'n cherry pate and a soft, creamy blue cheese, both with dry crackers. In all a lovely wine for immediate enjoyment. Cork seal 13.5% alc/vol

a little clumsy after the Erste + Neue Pinot Grigio, ripe melon, sweet spice, pear. Slight residual sugar, tight grip, slightly bitter on the finish with a touch of melon.

Enjoyed with is squid ink seafood pasta - kind of undistinguished upon opening, but after about 30 minutes or so opens up and the mouthfeel becomes pleasantly viscous with a nice acidic backbone.

Color: light gold with bare suggestions of copper Nose: yellow flowers and peach, apple. A little thyme. Chalk. Sour almond and orange blossom. Something candy like, faintly Palate: medium-light body here with medium acidity. More heft than your normal Pinot grigio. A good hit of Italian bitterness for a fresh palate that confirms the nose Finish: medium
Pinot grigio risks being a bit flabby, but not so here, given the good acid backbone and bitterness. Definitely well-made, this is not a meditation wine, rather good for an aperitivo with food involved. Opens up with 30 minutes of air, as it warms from the fridge
