Mandolina Pinot Grigio,

Mandolina Pinot Grigio, Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: The hand harvested grapes are whole cluster pressed for minimal color extraction, chilled and cold fermented for crisp, lively flavor with natural acidity. We finish and bottle this wine during the cold winter months to retain optimal Pinot Grigio flavors of key lime, citrus blossom and a hint of wild strawberry.Enjoy with salads, lighter first courses or sipping with many appetizers.

Pinkish-white variety producing a very crisp white wine. Grown in Oregon, the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and more and more in California, it shows promise for other cool climates. Also known as Tokay d'Alsace in France, Rulander in Germany, and Pinot Grigio in Italy.
