About this wine
Saint George Pinot Grigio Terroir Expression from Jordan, offering pear, apple and a hint of citrus, light and crisp on the palate with green apple, lemon and a touch of minerality behind a refreshing close.
Straight from the fridge.
Tasting notes
Aromas of pear, apple and a hint of citrus. The palate is light and crisp, with flavours of green apple and lemon and a touch of minerality, finishing with refreshing acidity. A clean, unoaked white built for drinking rather than contemplating, and one of the easier entry points into the Saint George range.
Goes with
Salads, shellfish, and light seafood dishes.

The producer
Saint George is the wine of Omar Zumot, whose father Bulos founded the family drinks company in 1954. The name comes from the church of Saint George at Madaba, beside which Omar planted his first vineyard using vines brought from France. The estate now farms three sites: Madaba on clay and limestone, Souf in the mountains of Jerash at 1,150 metres, and the principal vineyard at Sama al-Sarhan on the Syrian border, where basalt thrown out by the extinct volcano of Jabal Druze layers the soil and changes every half metre. All are certified organic. Sheep graze between the rows, irrigation comes from carp ponds that enrich the water with nitrate, and yields are held below two tonnes per hectare, around a quarter of the world average.
