IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

2015 was an exceptional vintage for Pinot Gris with fruit that was spectacularly aromatic. Two batches were hand-picked in 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.

Pale and toasty, this wine’s creamy texture carries the flavor of macadamia nuts and an overtone of peach blossoms. It’s clean, firmed up by a little tannic grip. Serve it with sliced pears and farmer’s cheese.
