Cupcake Pinot Grigio - 750ml

Full and complex, this wine opens with a nuanced nose that hints at pineapple, pears, and sweet lemons, all weaving together to form a bright yet layered aromatic profile. Subtle mineral undertones and delicate florals drift in behind the fruit, adding a lift of freshness that promises complexity on the palate. The wine’s character is enhanced by its aging on its lees (sur lie) in a combination of stainless steel and concrete tanks, a technique that preserves purity while allowing the wine to develop a creamy,textured mouthfeel without excessive heaviness. This lees contact contributes a soft, almost silken texture, giving the wine a refined viscosity that coats the palate without obscuring its bright fruit.

On the palate, the fruit flavors echo the nose, with juicy pineapple and ripe pear notes taking center stage, tempered by citrusy lemon zest that provides zing and balance. The interplay between fruit and lees-derived creaminess yields a mouthfeel that feels both generous and precise, with a smooth, almost enveloping finish. The stainless steel and concrete vessels help preserve crisp acidity, ensuring the wine remains lively and age-worthy, while the sur lie aging lends depth and a subtle, bread-like nuance that complements the fruit rather than masking it. This wine exudes confidence and poise, offering a delightful combination of bright liveliness, creamy texture, and persistent, harmonious flavors from start to finish. It pairs beautifully with seafood, light poultry, and citrusy sauces, inviting thoughtful contemplation with every sip.
