Mt. Beautiful Pinot Gris 2014

Flavour Profile

Our Pinot Gris is an invitation to experience the unexpected. Aromatically the wine is floral featuring scents of jasmine and lilac. On the palate, it is full-bodied with luscious ripe pear flavors backed by sensuous texture and crisp, clean, ripe Victoria plums followed by a cream-like finish.

Winemaker Notes

2015 was an exceptional vintage for Pinot Gris with fruit that was spectacularly aromatic. We hand-picked in two batches with the earlier pick emphasizing aromatics and good acidity. The later pick of very ripe fruit focused on unctuous concentration and texture. Hand harvesting, gentle whole bunch pressing and fermentation in a mix of old oak and stainless steel tanks contributed to the silky texture of this wine. The Pinot Gris juice is then aged on yeast lees to add required elements to the palate structure and aromas.

The Perfect Match

Pair our Mt. Beautiful Pinot Gris with pasta, chicken, salmon, pork and especially rowdy dinner guests.
