Radcliffe's Pinot Grigio 2011
Style: Soft, dry white
Celebrity match: Think Davina McCall. Attractive, gregarious, popular girl next-door style, a good friend who is fun to be with.
Dry and refreshing, Pinot Grigio is the perfect choice for summer evening drinks, parties, or just a relaxing glass of wine after work. Known for its crowd pleasing ability, the Radcliffe's Pinot Grigio is a particularly good example of one of today’s most popular wines. This wine is light enough to drink on its own or with nibbles, yet versatile enough to match a variety of foods.
If you are looking for a wine match for delicate, light dishes then Pinot Grigio is a good place to start. Radcliffe’s Pinot Grigio makes a good partner to simply grilled fish dishes or raw or lightly cooked seafood dishes such as prawns with fresh tomato and basil.
Great pasta dish matches might include linguine with cream and parmesan or mushroom ravioli. Pinot Grigio also pairs nicely with salads and lightly flavoured rice dishes.

Pinot Grigio origins & winery
Veneto, Italy
We turned to the Pasqua family, based just outside Verona, to make both our Pinot Grigio, and its pink partner, the Pinot Grigio Blush. Three generations of the Pasqua family are currently involved in making wine, and their passion and love of all things Italian really shines through in all they do, helping to make them one of Italy’s best independent wineries.
The Pasqua family is genuinely dedicated to producing high quality grapes and wines that truly express the character of the Veneto wine region. Giovanni, one of the cousins, is the man behind our Pinot Grigio – an elegant lemony white wine.
