Well these are interesting.

​​

Knowing Aromo wines as we do, we had a firm idea of how these would taste but as it turns out were a little off for both.

Pinot Grigio expectation was fat, spicy and ripe fruit with tons of power. Reality was fat and weighty but with a little less power and largely an absence of spice. Very very good though and sufficiently different to our fabulous Friulian Pinot Grigios to warrant an order.

Pinot Noir grown in a warm place like the Maule valley can be a challenge to me. If it’s too ripe, too dark or in any way “cooked” I’m out. I want my Noir to be sweet-fruited (but without sugar) and ever so slightly austere or green.

 

What a wine for the money (stupidly low price). Everything I want from a garden glugging red with style.

​

This will be our star wine over this summer; I can feel it. Several thousand bottles of both en route…..
