The Pinot Grigio is marketed by the LaCheteau winery. They produce several very popular house wines, including this Kiwi. The name suggests it originates from New Zealand, but nothing could be further from the truth. Production takes place in the Languedoc region, but it is inspired by New Zealand winemaking methods. The Kiwi Cuveé brand was founded in 2001 to combine New World techniques with the nobility of French terroirs. The house wines in the Kiwi Cuveé series are versatile. They are delicious as an accompaniment to a delicious meal, but also perfectly suited as a single wine at a party or reception.
The southern location of Italy's vineyards ensures that the grapes always ripen beautifully. This is a significant advantage for the wines. As a result, the wines are friendly and approachable. This gives this Pinot Grigio its characteristic juiciness and spice. The aroma reveals abundant yellow fruit, such as citrus and pineapple. The taste is fresh, just as a Pinot Grigio should be.
Kiwi's house wine series launched with Sauvignon Blanc as the French answer to the immensely popular New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs. Its characteristic feature is its riper, less rigid style. Over the years, the range has expanded to include Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay. These wines follow the same recipe: wines bursting with fruit without being overpowering or heavy.
