Pinot Grigio Single Vineyard `Terrapieno`, Alpha Zeta

by Alpha Zeta

Add To Comparison

Alpha Zeta was started in 1999 when Liberty Wines set out to produce a range of modern, fruit-driven wines from the hills outside Verona. Working with leading New Zealand winemaker, Matt Thomson, their aim was to work with growers (rather than buy bulk wine, which is standard among most wines from Verona at this price) to obtain ripe grapes (by reducing yields and picking later) and then, using Matt's expertise, preserve these flavours in the finished wines. The result is a realization of the potential inherent in Veronese viticulture.

This is a single vineyard Pinot Grigio with great intensity of flavour and balance. It has lifted aromas of pear and bread crust, typical for Pinot Grigio from this region. The nose gives way to lovely weight and a silky texture on the palate, with hints of dried herbs. The wine finishes dry with a zesty acidity and a saline minerality on the finish.
