BIO Avondale Jonty's Ducks Pekin White

Tasting note BIO Avondale Jonty's Ducks Pekin White

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

Food Pairing

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