More information
We have many Pinot Grigio fans, so our team of buyers always keeps a sharp lookout for a new star. This is a top buy from Moldova, a country that once supplied wine to the royal courts of Europe. Now the pick of the wineries have been thoroughly brought up to date, and are producing fabulous, bright, fruity, fresh wines in a modern style, like Budburst. It's from Albastrele which won '2020 Best Winery'. It shows the excellent winemaking conditions of Moldova. Bright sunshine and biting winds keep vines healthy and produce lots of intense flavour and aromatics in the grapes. Enjoy the lemon and mineral freshness of this elegant white. Best served well chilled on its own or with grilled fish, creamy risotto or chicken.
