Pour this when you want something cold, dry and zippy that doesn't ask you to think too hard. Three Thieves Pinot Grigio is all juicy pear and green apple with a citrus snap on the end, the kind of white that disappears fast on a warm Nairobi evening. No oak, no fuss, just fresh fruit and a clean, mouth-watering finish. Grab it for a balcony catch-up, a Friday that needs no occasion, or anything off the grill.
Stick your nose in and you get citrus and a soft floral lift, like lemon zest with a flower tucked behind it. The first sip is juicy pear and green apple, bright and fresh, with a squeeze of citrus running underneath. It's properly dry, so no sweetness lingers, and the acidity keeps everything lively and clean right to the last drop. Light on its feet, easy company, never heavy.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Three Thieves is a California crew started by three wine mates: winemaker Joel Gott, entrepreneur Charles Bieler and grape grower Roger Scommegna. The name is a wink at their habit of "stealing" great fruit to make seriously good wine that doesn't cost the earth. Their Robin Hood logic is simple: a good bottle shouldn't be a luxury reserved for the few. They've been at it since 2001, when their first wine landed in a retro screw-cap jug and quietly built a cult following. This Pinot Grigio is cold-fermented to lock in all that fresh fruit and snap.
