  April 9, 2022 - This may not be quite at the level of Margreid's "Punggl," which may the best Pinot Grigio I've ever tasted, but it's wonderful nonetheless (and a superb value at $20 in Ontario, compared to $32 for the Punggl, which, to be fair, is also superb value). Showing white flowers immediately on the nose, it's a complex white with aromas of lemon, nuts, white pepper, herbs and Asian spice (especially ginger), all nicely replayed on the palate, where peach, apricot, apple, and pear add to the fruit mix and the texture becomes almost creamy, a certain fruity fleshiness combining with the zesty, acidic citrus, and it really does seem like sweet-sour fruit bathed in, and almost baked with, a balanced array of spicy, savoury flavours. Pinot Grigio doesn't exactly have a great reputation as a varietal for serious wines, as so many are crisp, light, and simply forgettable, but Margreid once again proves otherwise.
