Tasting notes
The aroma is reminiscent of the refreshing and hard acidity of green apples, kabosu, and shikuwasa. It has a dry taste with a clean acidity and the tannins derived from the skin give it complexity. The volume of the aroma is not large, but the components of the taste are solid, making it a satisfying wine.
Food pairing
Pinot Gris Pétillant pairs well with a variety of foods, including:
· Seafood dishes such as oysters, ceviche, sushi, and grilled fish
· Salads especially those with a citrus-based dressing, goat cheese, or nuts
· Spicy foods (especially Thai or Indian cuisine)
· Brunch options such as eggs benedict, quiche, and other brunch favorites
Winemaking
This is the 4th vintage since Domaine Tetta has started making Pinot Gris. For the 2023 vintage a Pétillant has been made for the first time. This Pétillant takes advantage of the young age of the vines and the soils of Domaine Tetta. Skin contact has been done for several days.
