The 2024 G.D. Vajra Pètracine Riesling is a distinctive and aromatic Riesling from Italy's Langhe region in Piedmont. Produced by the renowned G.D. Vajra estate, it offers a unique Italian interpretation of this classic variety, combining bright fruit with freshness and minerality. Aromas of lime, green apple, white peach and citrus blossom are complemented by subtle floral and stony notes.
On the palate, it is crisp and vibrant, with lively acidity supporting flavours of lemon, grapefruit and orchard fruit. The texture is precise and refreshing, leading to a dry finish with excellent balance, mineral character and persistence.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for Riesling lovers looking to explore a distinctive expression outside of Germany and Austria. Best enjoyed over the next 3–6 years while its freshness and aromatic complexity are at their peak. Pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, sushi, grilled fish, light pasta dishes and Asian-inspired cuisine.
