Protea Pinot Grigio 2024
Originating from South Africa’s Western Cape, the Protea Pinot Grigio is crafted by Anthonij Rupert Wines, a family-owned estate celebrated for its sustainable practices and commitment to showcasing the diversity of the Cape’s vineyards. The winery sources grapes from premium sites in Franschhoek, Groenekloof, Darling, Elgin, and Elandskloof, creating a wine that reflects the region’s fresh coastal influence and varied terroir.
Wine Description
Made from 100% Pinot Grigio grapes, this wine is hand-harvested in the cool early mornings to preserve its delicate aromatics. The fruit undergoes whole-bunch pressing, overnight settling, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by several months on the lees to enhance mouthfeel and complexity. In the glass, it shows a pale straw colour with a faint green hue. Aromas of ripe nectarine, peach, and stone fruit mingle with subtle floral and citrus notes. The palate is bright and juicy, revealing flavours of nectarine, crunchy apple, lemon zest, and a light mineral edge.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, creamy pasta dishes, or a classic Caprese salad. The stone fruit and citrus freshness lift lighter dishes, while its gentle texture complements creamier elements. Together, they create an unforgettable dining experience.
