Stormhoek 2006 Pinot Grigio (Coastal Region)
- Best Buy
- $10
Light, clean and uncomplicated, the way most people like their Pinot Grigio’s, this wine still has depth. It offers great acidity and lift as well as easy-to-savor tropical fruit and citrus flavors. Despite its popularity in the U.S., Pinot Grigio is a rare find in South Africa, and winemaker Graham Knox is getting it right.
