Stephen Beaumont CSW CWE rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A refreshingly different style of Pinot Grigio with complexity and body. The Vendrame del Doge winery has only 50 acres of land and produces around 12,000 bottles of this wine using a short, soft pressing and cool fermentation. The wine is kept on the fine lees in stainless steel vats for six months and the complexity that results is delightful. The colour is a little more yellow than many Pinot Grigios and it is well balanced while retaining refreshing acidity and crispness on the palate. There is an unmistakable wild flower scented bouquet that entices you to sip as a perfect aperitif but continue drinking this wine with chicken, pork, fish and shellfish. I can imagine it also with a creamy goats cheese.

Sadly, this wine is not yet available in the Canadian market but they are hopeful that this will change soon. If and when that happens, snap this wine up and keep an eye open for the distinctive logo on their label which represents the headdress of the Doge of Venice!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
