The idea for a fresh style of Grillo began with the cooler 2013 vintage, which produced greener-hued berries rather than the typical yellow colour. Vinified in stainless steel using indigenous yeasts, it's then aged on its lees for six months. It's possible to detect hints of peach, apple, lemon, lime and even passion fruit scents, while in the mouth it shows beautifully sapid yellow plum, lemon, apple, and a touch of creaminess from the lees ageing. Fresh, stony and very saline, textured and vertical, it's a superbly honed example of the variety in its still form.
