California
Savor the highly anticipated Gold medal-winning Erste While Pinot Grigio
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Erste While
Pinot Grigio
We couldn’t be more delighted to welcome the second release from Erste While to Firstleaf. The first wine we had from Erste While not only won a Gold medal, but was named the “California Gewürztraminer Wine of the Year” at the 2017 New York International Wine Competition. We think that this follow up Pinot Grigio is equally worthy of medals. With notes of subtle white flowers, pear, and apricot it’s the perfect accompaniment to almost any table. The crisp and refreshing wine is as good with a salad as it is with fried calamari or fried chicken. What more could you ask for in a wine? Judges love it too! It took Gold at the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and a Silver medal at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge.

WINE REGION:
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

TASTING NOTES:
White Flowers
Pear
Apricot
This wine has notes of subtle white flower, pear, and apricot. It is crisp and refreshing, and we would go as far as to call it a very pretty wine. It will work just as well on its own as it will with a meal.
