Creamy vegetable risotto, pan-seared sea bass, or an elegant platter of soft goat's cheese and light canapés. 

Irish Favourite Pairings:

• Seafood Chowder with Brown Soda Bread: The creamy richness of Irish seafood chowder is balanced by the Pinot Grigio’s fresh acidity, while its fruity notes enhance the flavours of mussels, prawns, and smoked haddock.
• Irish Chicken Goujons with Garlic Dip: The wine’s light, refreshing style complements the crispy chicken while cutting through the richness of the garlic dip.
• Pan-Seared West Cork Scallops: The delicate sweetness of scallops pairs beautifully with the Pinot Grigio’s fresh fruit flavours and clean, refreshing finish.

How the wine is made

This pure white wine is crafted from 100% organically grown Pinot Grigio grapes cultivated in the scenic vineyards of the Veneto region. The fruit is carefully monitored and harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve its natural, lively acidity and delicate fruit perfumes. Fermentation takes place with minimal intervention in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, allowing the crisp varietal character of the grape and the clean minerality of the soil to shine through without any heavy oak influence.

Why we love this producer

BonaDea is a passionate project born from a family legacy with deep-rooted history in the Veneto region. For over a hundred years, the family dedicated themselves to growing and cultivating the finest grapes for other winemakers, before finally taking the leap to craft and bottle their own estate-driven creations in 2015. This transition bridges the gap between generational wisdom and modern artisan winemaking. 

BonaDea—a thoughtful tribute to the ancient Roman goddess of the Earth and fertility. We love them because their name is a daily promise to honor and respect the land, a philosophy that translates into the vibrant purity of every bottle they produce.  

Sustainability & Farming Practices

Rooted in a philosophy that honours the earth, the estate prioritizes natural harmony over industrial intervention:

• Vineyard Practices: The vineyards are managed with a strict focus on eco-conscious farming, protecting local biodiversity and practicing minimal chemical intervention to maintain pristine soil health.
