Forever relevant thanks to its neverending flexibility, Blush Ramato is powered by Pinot Gris, fermented on skins for three weeks to draw out soft peach and pear with a hint of pepper. Sandy loam over schist bedrock soils set up an elegant structure - cellar this one happily for up to ten years.
This is a skinsy gris that sits in the glass a cloudy dusty pink with a distinct haze. Alpha Box & Dice Italian Plastic Blush's nose is lifted, carrying notes of pear, rose petal, musk, dried guava, watermelon rind, pepper and hints of redcurrant and peach. That haze seems to transfer to the palate in an entirely pleasing way, with a chewy textural feel, a sense of matter and grip rather than the simple glide of a more conventional take on the grape. The acidity is present but gentle, with the grape tannins doing the heavy lifting.
