Sterling Vintners Collection Pinot Grigio (75cl, 13.5%)

A California Pinot Grigio from Sterling Vineyards, fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks. The winery was founded in 1964 in Calistoga, in the heart of Napa Valley, and manages roughly 1,200 acres of vines across various parts of Napa Valley. This Vintner's Collection wine is made from 100% Pinot Grigio and is bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The stainless steel fermentation is a deliberate choice to preserve fruit purity and bright acidity, keeping the wine lean and refreshing rather than oak-influenced. It is suited to weeknight dinners, casual brunches and outdoor gatherings. The nose opens with honeysuckle and white floral blossoms, then green apple and ripe pear, with citrus zest and a faint trace of spearmint. The palate brings crisp pear, green apple and preserved lemon, with peach and subtle spice, and the finish is clean with lingering citrus and a mineral quality.
