✨ wine.spec_sheet
Yellow Tail Pinot Grigio represents a modern Australian take on a classic European grape, crafted to be exceptionally fresh, vibrant, and approachable. Sourced from select vineyards across the vast South Eastern Australia zone, where warm, sun-drenched days are balanced by cool night breezes, the grapes are harvested at night to lock in their natural acidity and bright fruit flavors. In the cellar, the juice undergoes a cool fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, entirely avoiding oak contact to preserve the pure, zesty essence of the fruit. This style reflects the Casella family's pioneering vision of stripping away the pretension of wine, offering a crisp, easy-drinking white that captures the playful spirit of the Australian landscape.
