Wayne Gretzky Estates
Founders Series
Pinot Grigio
$16.95/750 ml
ORIGIN: VQA Ontario
STYLE: Light and refreshing
ALCOHOL: 12%
SWEETNESS: 10.9 g/L
Winemaker’s notes: Harvested from vineyards within the Niagara Peninsula, the Pinot Grigio grapes were chosen for their varietal character and pure fruit flavours. The grapes receive a gentle pressing, then cool fermentation and aging in stainless steel tanks to enhance the pure fruit characteristics.
Flavour profile: Clear and bright with a clean fresh aroma of melon, pear, red apple, and a touch of citrus. A light, smooth yet refreshing white wine. Lovely fruit flavours of orchard and tropical fruits glide across the palate and linger through on the finish.
Best served: Serve chilled at 10 to 12ºC to enhance the refreshing acidity of this wine; or serve slightly warmer at 13 to 15ºC to allow for rich fruit development and a softer mouthfeel. Fabulous afternoon sipping wine. Serve with hummus and pita chips; crab salad; shrimp skewers; cold pasta salads; pan-fried fresh-water fish; roasted chicken; turkey wraps; grilled pork chops; light seafood pasta dishes. Drink while young and fresh.

Flavours of ripe black currant, dark plum, spice, and cocoa powder mingle together on the palate. Notes of black tea, blackberry, blue plum, sweet spice, oak, and vanilla extract notes linger on the dry finish.
