Our tasting notes

21 February 2012

Orivieto is a DOC region in Umbria known for crisp dry whites made mostly from Grechetto and Trebbiano.  On the nose fresh, sweet aromas of honeysuckle, green apple and apricot make up the delicate bouquet.  The palate is dry with a slight waxy texture.  Flavours of melon and apple carry through and finish with fresh persistence.  A great alternative to New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris!
