New listing. Situated between Romania and the Ukraine, Moldova is a small country, but a large wine producer—this one, from the Cahul region, offers good value. Correct, mild pinot gris aromas of white melon and white bread. Light bodied, dry and refreshing; much like Italian pinot grigio. Bitter almond finish.
