TASTING NOTE:
Aromas of green apple, pear and citrus follow over to the savory palate along with green melon, ginger and tangerine zest. It’s bright and delicious, with tangy acidity before a fresh, clean close.

Aromas of green papaya and spicy pears follow through to a full body with layers of fruit and attractive citrus undertones in the finish. Drink now.

The 2019 Pinot Grigio from Abbazia di Novacella shows significantly more depth and complexity than you’d expect. Hints of wild herbs give way to ripe apple and apricot, offset by dusty dried flowers and lifting minerality. The interplay of acids and ripe fruit folds perfectly into the wine’s soft and enveloping textures, making for a fresh yet fully satisfying display. Sweet peach, hints of honey and inner florals linger throughout the remarkably pretty finish. If this is what the “entry-level” release of the 2019 is like, I can only imagine what the Praepositus will have to offer. Drinking window: 2020 – 2024

WINEMAKER’S NOTE:
Pale straw yellow in colour with an attractive aroma of citrus fruits, peach and honeydew melon; medium rich, fruity and direct on the palate with orchard fruit flavours and tangy acidity on the finish.
