Althorne Estate Pinot Gris - Crouch Valley, Essex
Althorne Estate Pinot Gris from the Crouch Valley in Essex is a refreshing English white that balances bright acidity with ripe orchard fruit — think crisp green apple, pear, and a hint of white peach — complemented by a gentle floral perfume and subtle minerality from the estuary soils. Light- to medium-bodied, it offers a clean, slightly textured palate with a touch of citrus zest and a soft, lingering finish with a hint of smoke from light ageing in French oak, making it versatile for pairing with seafood, salads, soft cheeses, or enjoying chilled on its own. Crafted with attention to site and cool-climate precision, this Pinot Gris showcases the growing quality and approachable style of Essex winemaking.
