Terra D'Oro Pinot Grigio (75cl, 12.5%)

A white wine made from 100% Pinot Grigio, produced from California's Clarksburg AVA. Terra d'Oro traces its roots to 1970, when the winery was founded as Montevina in Amador County, and was rebranded as Terra d'Oro in 2009. The wine uses four different Pinot Grigio clones grown in Clarksburg, a cool-climate AVA in the Sacramento River Delta spanning three counties. The grapes are hand-picked and transported to the winery in Amador County, then fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to retain natural aromatics and crisp acidity without oak influence. Ripe stone fruit, green apple, pear and honeydew melon lead the aroma, with lemon zest, wet stone and dried herbs. The palate offers juicy stone fruit and nectarine, cantaloupe and honeydew, white grapefruit and a mineral core. The finish is long and elegant, with a mouthwatering dry mineral quality and lingering orange-blossom water and honeycomb.
