Personalised The Pawn El Desperado Pinot Grigio 2025 12.2% 750ML

Tasting Notes

Aroma
This wine shows aromas of melons and pears with a subtle hint of tropical and citrus fruits. It has an intense aroma of fresh-cut pear and cling-stone peach accented by citrus blossom and soft floral notes. It has aromas of rock melon, citrus blossom and soft floral notes of acacia flower and sea spray.

Palate
On the palate the texture is very smooth, with juicy Nashi pear, Honeydew melon and lemon sherbet flavours all entwined with a middle palate vis- cos-ity that makes it both refreshing, soft and juicy. It is almost silk-like with over-tones of almonds and acacia flowers, citrus and spice and just enough natural acidity to give a clean crisp finish.

Winemakers comments
In chess, El Desperado is a doomed pawn that seems deter-mined to give itself up to bring about a stalemate when captured, a pawn that is as good as dead and so sets out to do as much damage as possible.

Food matching
It will accompany spicy Asian-inspired cuisine, Vietnamese take-away or just a slab of sashimi with a sharp knife, a spray of soy sauce and a tube of wasabi.

Cellaring potential
This wine is enjoyable young, but with its spicy texture and palate weight, it has the structure to flower into a classic over the next two years.
