Very much a dry Prosecco, but one with a balanced bouquet of white florals. The palate is chalky and includes some lovely, refreshing green orchard fruit. Great with a handful of crisps, or some lobster tail linguine.

Aromas of dark berries & spice with a fruit-forward palate, and beautifully medium-weighted. Light, organic, delicious!

Drinking this is like biting into a perfectly crisp granny smith apple. So refreshing! Tight and electric, with crunchy apple, pear and lots of fresh acid. Probably should have the Grigio designation and may even win some Riesling fans!

Fruit grows in the clouds with vines reaching 620m elevation to bring all the drive and depth you want. This is kept crispy with some topping throughout its 136 days on skins! We adore the colour too, but we love all the grapefruit snap, mandarin oils and herby coils even more.
