La Vis Vigneti Pinot Grigio 2013

From - Veneto, Italy
Grape - Pinot Grigio
Alcohol - 12.5%
Available from - Waitrose
Price - £9.99

Appearance - Clear and pale.  Lemon coloured.  Legs observed.

Nose - Clean, with medium+ intensity; youthful.  Green fruit (apples and pears), sweet spice (cloves) plus stone fruit (melon) and floral (honeysuckle)

Palate - Dry, medium alcohol, medium+  acid; medium body; medium intensity; medium+ length.  Green fruit (apple), citrus (lemon),

Good quality; can drink now, not suitable for further ageing.  Mid-priced.

I must admit this is one I tried before and was impressed.  This is very good value for money.  It retails at a tenner and is often cheaper.  It is surprisingly and very pleasantly aromatic, has good acid levels and reasonable length.  You could easily spend a bit more for a wine this agreeable.  Pinot Grigio fans, try this as soon as you can.
