Get to know: Calusari Pinot Grigio
Tasting Note
Zingy and full of sunshine, Calusari Pinot Grigio is a vibrant white that bursts with flavours of grapefruit, peach, pear and juicy melon, rounded off with a subtle hint of spice and a clean, citrusy finish. Light-bodied but not bland, it’s fresh, fruity and fun and there's a touch of texture that gives it extra interest. A wine that’s easy to love and hard to beat for the price. Whether you’re hosting friends or just want a midweek pick-me-up, this is the bottle to reach for. A proper crowd-pleaser.
Food Pairings:
-
Great with grilled chicken, prawns, or white fish tacos
-
Ideal with salads, stir-fried veg, or mildly spiced Asian dishes
-
Lovely on its own for sunny afternoons or laid-back dinners
Kate Says
"This easy-drinking Pinot Grigio is a little gem of a wine. It's from a very modern, dynamic winery in Romania making wines that really over-deliver. You could enjoy this midweek or take to picnics and parties."
