Pirosmani Shiraki Valley Semi Dry 2017 Georgia

A beautifully focused and fragrant wine of fresh primary melon, kiwifruit, nashi pear and green apple notes. Distinct oatmeal nuttiness adds a delicious intricacy, along with indulging buttery nuances.

An exceptionally pure nose, full of varietal complexity. The palate abounds in a fuller volume, rich and textured with a punchy acid drive, offering structural support. Salivating notes of ripe melon, pear and citrus add a burst of clarity, leading into a voluptuous length, leaving you wanting more.

The Saint and Scholar Pinot Gris is a fantastic example of this underrated grape variety. Serve the wine crisp with a local charcuterie board, out in the sunshine, for that authentic provincial feel.

 The Saint & Scholar vineyard makes for a beautiful, spectacular backdrop for our makers. North facing and particularly hilly, you’ll see the fluffiest of fluffy clouds float above as the sun sinks across the valley, making you want to stay long after the day is done.

The hilly terrain means in an area of high rainfall, like the Adelaide Hills, water drains rather well. Together with the beautiful sunlight and naturally cool climate, this makes for a perfect, harmonious environment to ripen quality, consistent vines; soon to be quality, consistent wines.

So even if you can’t stand in the Adelaide Hills and see the beautiful harmony, thanks to the Saint & Scholar and their work together, you can pour a glass and taste it.
