The palate is fresh yet well rounded with loads of citrus and tropical fruit flavours balanced by a perfect level of acidity that refreshes and enlivens the palate.

Fermentation was temperature controlled and the wine was then aged for several months on the fine lees in stainless stell tanks. There was no malolactic fermentation thus retaining all of the fresh acidity in the wine, something which is very important in such a hot climate. The grapes for this wine were selected from prime vineyard sites in the Marsala area of Sicily and Grillo is the most traditional variety to be planted here. Grapes were picked by hand and only the ripest bunches were selected.

Why we like this wine

The proximity to the coast of marsala's vineyards and this together with the ever-present sunshine makes organic farming easy to achieve. Great care has been taken to keep the pure fruit properties of the Grillo grape and it is quite unusual to find a true organic and certified wine at this price point. It's simply delicious to drink and is almost like having some sunshine in a glass.

  • A great example of Grillo
  • Organic and Vegan
  • Superb value for money

What Richard thinks?

Since this Organic project was set up a number of years ago we have seen the quality of this wine increase year on year and when I tasted this recently I was really impressed with it. The Grillo grape variety is indigenous to this part of Italy and loves the abundance of sunshine and cooling sea breezes in this part of the world. As well as drinking well above its price point it offers a fresh, vibrant and crisp style that can be drunk as an aperitif or with fish or shellfish dishes. Grab yourself a bargain and try it for yourself.
