This Charles Shaw Pinot Grigio offers a refreshing and light-bodied experience typical of the varietal. On the nose, it presents delicate aromas of pear, citrus blossom, and green apple. The palate follows through with crisp flavors of lemon zest, white peach, and a hint of almond, balanced by a lively acidity that carries through to a clean finish with subtle mineral notes. The grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards in California, where the warm climate and alluvial soils contribute to the wine's fruity character and approachable style. The region's long, sun-drenched growing season allows the Pinot Grigio grapes to develop fully, resulting in a wine that captures the essence of California's generous terroir while maintaining the varietal's characteristic freshness. This versatile Pinot Grigio pairs excellently with a wide range of light dishes. It's an ideal companion for fresh seafood, particularly grilled white fish or a zesty shrimp scampi. The wine's bright acidity complements salads with vinaigrette dressings and pairs wonderfully with mild, creamy cheeses like fresh mozzarella or goat cheese. For a classic pairing, try it with a margherita pizza or a plate of herb-roasted chicken with lemon.
