White Duck Chardonnay Pinot Grigio 2019

New South Wales

Finally winemaker Sam Trimboli has taken the plunge and has gone out on his own. It seems to be working wonders, judging by the fruity moreishness of this ripe, tasty white. Chardonnay with a splash of Pinot Grigio is gorgeously ripe and fruity.

Many of you will remember Sam Trimboli from his days at Warburn Estate where, every vintage, he’d pick up literally hundreds of awards. He’s still on a winning streak, but now he’s renting space all for himself at a winery in Riverina, New South Wales. Sam makes there the mighty Black Duck, and his white version – the equally fruity and irresistible White Duck. Sam has been in the region for many years, so knows exactly where the best grapes are growing. In 2019, he selected when he wanted them picked too, cool fermenting and adding a touch of citrusy Pinot Grigio to the blend. This is the sort of wine you should never be short of, ready chilled in the fridge. Exuberant with bright melon fruit – serve solo or with a spicy noodle dish.

"Lovely ripe fruit and a delightful lift of freshness. Just what you’d expect from this ace winemaker" Dan Parrott
