Tasting Notes BIO Avondale Jonty's Ducks Pekin White

In the glass, this wine shines a light golden yellow with a delicate green hue. The aroma is inviting and complex, with notes of ripe pear, apricot, citrus blossom, and a hint of honey. On the palate, the wine comes alive: juicy, fresh, and elegant, with a perfect balance of fruit, freshness, and a subtle creaminess. The finish is long and clean, with a mineral touch that gives the wine its character.

Wine & Food Pairing

The Jonty's Ducks Pekin White is an ideal companion for refined dishes. Think grilled sea bass, scallops with a beurre blanc, goat cheese salad, or Asian dishes with a light spice. Also delicious with poultry or creamy mushroom risottos. A wine that comes into its own both on a summer terrace and during an elaborate dinner.
