Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio Wine Details
Price:

Description: Rapidly becoming our best-selling white wine at Thistle Meadow Winery, our Pinot Grigio took a gold medal at the 2004 Dixie Classic Fair. Medium-bodied, lighter colored wine with delicate floral notes. Crisp and flavorful, it has tropical fruit aromas & hints of green apple, melon & citrus. The finish is soft and fruity, yet assertive and dry.
