Very light straw in colour, this Pinot Gris delights with an ever so slight bronze hue. Notes of orange blossom and honey due can be seen with hints of toasted nougat.The front palate is bright and lively with a soft lime citrus line providing zest and vibrancy. Gentle phenolics hold the mid palate allowing for subtle oak flavours to linger. The slight level of residual sugar balances the acid on the finish wonderfully and leaves you looking for the next sip.

Attractive coppery pink in the glass. The nose has notes of musk, candied orange peel, fresh blood orange, sour cherry, fresh herbs and a slight Campari twist. Bitter-edged on the palate with that blood orange note, with musky pear, peach and strawberry fruit. It has a soft phenolic texture along with zesty tannins that add a pleasant grip. Finishes dry, clean and tangy. Engaging and moreish, with impressive finesse for this style of wine, and with a good volume of fresh fruit to balance the phenolic and savoury skinsy elements.

This distinctly delicate and ethereal aromatic variety marries harmoniously with our full-flavoured terroir characteristics, typical of all Persuini white wines, which originate from their hillside site and our rigorous cultivation techniques. The grapes were harvested by hand and gently pressed in a pneumatic press, and cooled during the process with dry ice. With the use of specially selected yeasts the vinification took place in modern stainless steel tanks with the temperature of fermentation controlled below 20° C. For the following 6 months the wine was left in contact with the fine lees. The wine has not gone through malolactic fermentation, in the effort to retain the original fruit aromas. Colour: A brilliant straw yellow. Nose: Our wine is perhaps more reminiscent of the Alsace style of Pinot Gris than it is to the greener, lighter Italian style. Its perfume is distinctly tropical, with a pronounced banana and passion fruit quality. Palate: Full bodied, with a fragrant tropical fruitiness. With its pronounced acid structure it cleanses the palate, and has a long enduring finish. It has great balance and is the most viscous of our white wines, though it avoids any cloyingness thanks to its high acidity.

White peach flavours unveil a medley of base stone fruit characteristics and linear minerality. Richly textured on the palate with great length and persistence. Simply, the perfect wine with food.
