This weekend, during your hunt for the perfect, easy drinking, affordable ‘house-white’, take a tour of the Eastern European / Hungarian section at the LCBO and look for a bottle of this Hungarian Pinot Grigio. You’ll get an internationally styled white wine that delivers fantastic value for the money. All you need to decide is whether or not you will share this little treasure with your friends!
Tasting Note:
This fresh and charming Pinot Grigio shows bright apple and melon on the nose with hints of fruit-blossom and flint. Bright fruit, citrus and cashew flavours all come together on a medium-weight palate that is perfectly balanced and smooth. This flavourful wine finishes off-dry and clean with hints of mineral spice and apple. Serve well chilled.
Enjoy With:
Chicken Caesar salad, fish or seafood, cream-based pasta dishes and even spicy Tex-Mex dishes.
Style:
Dry and fruity white wine.

The winery’s goal is to make wines that are innovative and of the highest quality that will represent Hungary in the international export market.
