TERRA DEL CAPO PINOT GRIGIO 2025

Tempting traces of caramel and sweet floral aromas can be found with the more prominent spice, cherry and overt blueberry fruit notes. The trademark cherry flavour and succulence is obvious on the palate entry. Lively, bright and engaging it offers more besides: dark fruitcake and ample spice – cinnamon and nutmeg – alongside an understated oaky nuance. The grape’s signature tannins have been held in check and provide a gentle squeeze and light dryness without overwhelming the structure and body, with is nicely lithe and pliable. A deliciously persistent finish rounds off the tasty mouthful.

Pale salmon hue, with generous bouquet of lime cordial, oyster shell, fresh sea breeze and apple. Tang of crunchy, crisp green apple and raspberry, vivacious and bright, are immediately apparent on the palate. Lively fizz and energy of the mousse lends additional appeal. Lime marmalade and citrus zest appear before a fantail of toasty brioche, sourdough and creamy lees unfurls. Poised, focused, dry and cohesive to the end.

Clean, crisp lemon sherbet zest and biscuit nose. The palate follows the same track: vibrant, crisp, clean and tangy with bright freshness. Focused and poised with gentle but beguiling flavours of succulent lemon sherbet and understated trace of orange marmalade before a richer, rewarding, broad creamy toast, biscuit and brioche note from time on lees becomes apparent. Persistent dry tail.

Gentle aromas of fruitcake, dark berries and warm spice rise from the glass, with subtle floral notes and a hint of cracked pepper adding complexity. The palate is supple and textured, echoing the nose with layers of rich berry fruit and gentle fruitcake spice. A lively thread of spice brings freshness and energy, while the velvety mouthfeel adds depth and generosity. Well-integrated oak quietly supports the fruit, creating balance and harmony without dominating. The wine finishes long and poised, with lingering notes of spice and dark fruit. Equally rewarding to enjoy now or to cellar for added complexity.
