Details
This is a really spot-on example of new world Pinot Grigio - it exhibits the hallmark flavours of yellow apple, white pear and a touch of grassiness, has lovely juicy acidity and a long, tapering finish. Medium bodied, with a lovely pulpy feel to it, it's an easy bottle to make disappear - very satisfying stuff!
White Stripes is one of the projects from talented duo Nina Stocker and Callie Jemmeson, both with a raft of winemaking and growing experience under their belt, but with plenty of pizzaz and fresh ideas for delicious and drinkable wine - they are our kind of women! Nina and Callie believe that winemaking doesn't have to have barriers but what it does need is quality, focus and a destination. Their combined winemaking experience criss-crosses the globe across 5 countries - they LOVE their work. White Stripes is part of an ambitious dream to capture five principal ‘passions’ - wine, music, friends, family and food! It is a truly Italian approach to wine, and Callie's keen eye for detail and judiciously experimental approach has paid dividends and the proof is in the glass. These are great wines - approachable and earthy, with plenty of soul. Complex yet fun is the unofficial motto of the White Stripes duo - wine should be enjoyable, and most importantly provide perfect harmony to crusty bread, a hunk of salami and great company.
