The 2024 Grand Bateau is wonderfully aromatic, fresh and vibrant, opening with citrus, white peach and tropical fruit along with delicate white flowers.

The palate is bright and energetic, driven by mouthwatering acidity, but there is also a lovely fleshy quality to the fruit that gives the wine substance and texture without sacrificing freshness. Citrus and stone fruit carry through the palate, with a subtle tropical note and a clean, refreshing finish.

What we particularly like about the 2024 is the balance.

It is bright and energetic, but not thin. Fresh, but not austere. Fruity and expressive, yet beautifully balanced by its acidity.

In short, it is the kind of white wine that makes you want another glass.

90 Points! Very crisp and bright, the Cantina Andriano (Kellerei Andrian) 2022 Alto Adige Pinot Grigio has aromas of citrus, crushed stone, star fruit and white grapefruit. Those bright aromas join a lean-bodied finish. There is a subtle hint of fleshy citrus, with something like a tangerine sorbet on the close. - Monica Larner, robertparker.com

Gorgeous now! What a screaming bargain...

90 Points! Fresh verbena and lime lend zip to white grapefruit and peach in this juicy blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Bourboulenc. Bright in fruit and thirst quenching, it's an easy-drinking, fruity dry white with crowd appeal. - Wine Enthusiast

The vineyard is located on terraces of galets roules, 60% Grenache Blanc and 40% Clairette.

Definitely the finest deal on a Pinot Grigio we've tasted. This one has more body, weight and complexity than anything else out there under $15, guaranteed...

From the winery: With a name meaning “out of” in Latin, EX speaks to our focus on expressing the personality and characteristics of our Certified Sustainable (SIP) estatevineyard. Our 2021 EX Chardonnay comes from the original 35+-year old, own-rooted Clone 4 planted on our estate vineyard. It is fermented (primary only) and aged for 3 months in stainless steel. The resulting unoaked wine is bright and direct, yet deceptively rich. The nose has a subtle tropical note and flavors offer guava, banana and green apple. There is a noticeable but balanced
acidity with a full mouthfeel.

This ain't your parents Martini & Rossi, this is SERIOUS Moscato Spumate from estate vineyards that is an absolute joy to drink! Like a more bubbly Moscato d'Asti, too much fun...
