Reviews and Ratings

Lynn van der Linde - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A lovely alternative to higher alcohol / higher calorie wines, at 8% alcohol by volume and 120 calories per 6 ounce glass. Enjoy as a mid-week sipper or as part of a healthier lifestyle.
Aromas of pear, lime and a hint of honeydew melon carry through to a zest lime finish.
Pair with salmon, baked squash or olive and feta salads.
Tasted February 2021.

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This is a lovely light wine with lower alcohol (8%) and calories than a standard white wine. Aromas of pear and lemon-lime. Light bodied and smooth on the palate, with fresh fruit notes and a crisp finish. Enjoy with any fish or seafood dishes.

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This pinot grigio from Peller Family Vineyards revealed floral, fresh tropical fruit in tangerine aromas that announced flavours evocative up sweet yellow pear, fresh tropical fruit and tangerines. Refreshing with light touch acidity and only 8% alcohol by volume. Unlike some wines, this wine’s bottle displays a big nutrition label that discloses this pinot grigio’s sugar, carb and calorie content per 188 mls (approximately 6 ounces). Serve with your favourite fish taco. Enjoy.

Gwen Barton rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

For those who are counting calories or carbs, check this out. Low sugar, low calories and low alcohol- at a very affordable price. Pear, citrus and hint of white blossoms make this an enjoyable sipping wine. Perfect for hot summer day. In keeping with the light style, try pairing with salad or cold cucumber soup.

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

A simple, enjoyable white wine with aromas of pear, apple and melon that carry through into the flavour with mouth watering citrus and lime-zest. Clean and light tasting. The lower abv of only 8% allows simple sipping for those looking for lighter, but still delicious wines to enjoy. Try this with lighter fare such as grilled herbed whitefish and a fresh mixed green salad.

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

One of the best wineries in Niagara, the Peller Estate Vineyards, offers a light Pinot Grigio. Yes, light. This Pinot Grigio has 25% less calories than a regular Pinot Grigio. The wine shows aromas of mango, kiwi, lime, orange blossom, honey and almond. Light-bodied with slight acidity, its finish is velvety with flavors of tropical fruit like, pineapple, apricot, orange blossom and honey. Perfect for the summer. Enjoy.

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

This Pinot Grigio, at 8% ABV (alcohol by volume) , is lighter and lower in alcohol than most available white wines on the market. Sweet and light, with tropical fruity flavours, it will be a pleasant summer sipper. Serve cold and enjoy with friends.

Pam Hatton rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Pale yellow straw with pleasant aromas of orange blossom, pineapple and pear. Light on the palate with more tropical fruit flavours and a lively off dry finish. Will match well with appetizers, salads, and light fare. Enjoy on the patio or bring it to the cottage as an afternoon sipper.
