Erste While
California
While away the day with this 90 Point, Gold medal winning 100% Lodi Pinot Grigio
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Erste While
Pinot Grigio
Join us in welcoming back Erste While to Firstleaf. The first wine from Erste While was a critical darling, and they are still exploring European style wines with this crisp Pinot Grigio. This bright white wine is full of zesty citrus notes that lift up the tongue. The 100% Lodi, California grapes show off the state's beautiful sunshine. There are rich flavors of pear and Honeycrisp apple that give some heft and play off of the light touches of herbs. Sage and basil are layered in the background and help this wine pair with light dishes. We love it with a Caprese salad, seared scallops, or even a lightly poached fish. It has already taken home a slew of medals. The judges at the 2019 Critics Challenge awarded it 90 Points and a Gold, while the judges at the 2019 International Women's Wine Competition and the 2019 Denver International Wine Competition lauded it with a Silver.

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:
Green Apple
Lemon
Mineral
This wine was pressed before being fermented cold in stainless steel to preserve the rich aromatics and to nurture a bright, mineral mouthfeel. We love the notes of citrus that lift up the tongue. Other major flavors are Honeycrisp apple with a light touch of herbs.
