The 2024 vintage showcases an alluring straw yellow hue that hints at its refreshing nature. With each pour, you'll be greeted by an aromatic profile that is intricate and inviting:

- Delicate touches of wildflowers and mint, bringing forth a fresh bouquet

- A smooth and fruity texture complemented by a delightful medium body
- Crisp acidity that invigorates with each sip, echoing refreshing layers of citrus and green apple
- A clean, mineral-driven finish that lingers with notes of citrus zest and subtle almond warmth
For the best experience, serve chilled between 8-10°C, ideally in elegant tulip-shaped glasses to appreciate the wine's finesse. Pair the Sur Sur Grillo with:
- Sicilian-inspired seafood tapas, such as grilled swordfish skewers with capers and preserved lemon, to beautifully complement the wine’s coastal minerality
- Refreshing white wine spritzers made by mixing Sur Sur with sparkling mineral water, garnished with fresh mint and a twist of lemon zest
- A brunch masterpiece featuring blood orange granita, providing a cooling contrast to its vibrant notes

Storage advice
For optimal storage of this white wine:
- Temperature: Store between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). This cooler range preserves the wine’s crispness and prevents premature aging.
- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark or dimly lit environment to avoid light damage which can negatively affect wine quality.
- Sealing: Ensure the cork remains moist and intact; avoid dry corks by not storing the bottle too long in a refrigerator or overly dry conditions which can cause oxygen ingress and spoilage.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle horizontally to keep the cork in contact with the wine maintaining cork moisture and a proper seal.
- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity (around 70%) to prevent corks from drying out while avoiding mold growth.
- Opened Bottle: Once opened reseal with a wine stopper and store in the refrigerator ideally consuming within 2–3 days to preserve freshness.
These guidelines ensure the white wine maintains its quality and shelf life whether unopened or after opening.
