La Vita Pinot Grigio

Vintage: 2013

A soft, ripe and refreshing Pinot Grigio from the warm Mediterranean climate of Sicily. Lemon-scented and full of dried herb and pear fruit flavours, this lively white is unmistakably Italian and is tailor made for everyday enjoyment.

About this bottle: On the island of Sicily, vines enjoy ideal conditions. Long, hot summers and mild winters ensure perfectly ripe grapes with bags of fruit. Local winemaker Edigio Finazzer knows the terrain well and never fails to produce delicious wines. When making this classic Pinot Grigio, he was careful to retain all the natural fruit vibrancy but also aged it for a brief spell to add some weight and roundness to the texture.

Caleidoscopio Pinot Grigio Fiano Albariño

Vintage: 2014

Crisp, dry and unoaked, this delicious white is a showpiece for three stunning white grape varieties. Distinctive pear and almond notes are Pinot Grigio’s contribution to the blend. Fiano adds zesty lemon flavours, and Albariño brings richness and structure.

About this bottle: M&S winemaker Jeneve Williams was thrilled to work with Argentine innovators the Zuccardi family where winemaker Gustavo Martinez made it possible for Jeneve to create this unique blend of Italian and Spanish grape varieties. It is rare for such a fabulous range of classic grapes to thrive in one place, but here at the family's Santa Julia estate the personality of each is encouraged to shine brightly.
