The first review of my unusual Pinot Grigio is in...
It’s from wine expert and influencer Janina Doyle (@eatsleep_winerepeat).
"Not as crazy and funky and weird as I was expecting....”
I then asked her if she’d ever tasted a Pinot Grigio like it before?
“No, not really,” she replied. “And, to be honest, this has got a lot more structure and savouriness than I would expect. I’ve left this out of the fridge for an hour because I expect with an orange wine it shouldn't be too cold... It’s medium bodied. It’s not really big and bold, but there’s this lovely kind of texture to it as well... This would be an absolutely great food wine. If you’re not an orange wine lover, it’s not gonna be for you. But I actually think, the tannins are in line, the fruits are in balance, the structure is good.”
‘This would be an absolutely great food wine’
In her podcast she recommends having it with grilled halloumi, spiced couscous, olives and salted nuts.
It's my first experimental wine, but others will follow later in the year. This 2021 wine is from Slovenia. In 2022 I made 6 wines in 4 countries (Slovenia, Hungary, Austria and Georgia). This year I aim to do something similar but in Spain, Italy, Croatia and Moldova.
