his extended lees contact Pinot Gris possesses an alluring aromatic combination of fresh rose petals, white peaches and lemon drop hard candies. With enough acidity to light a tiny house, this perky wine's musk melon and blood orange Bellini flavors are quite refreshing.
 
Winemaker Notes
As a clonal mutation of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris exhibits some red fruit character and texture depending treatment in the winery. Our version, created in an Alsatian style, exhibits fuller body and balanced minerality due to extended lees contact making it the ideal pairing for hard cheeses and charcuterie, fattier fish dishes, rich pastas, and roasted chicken. Smoked sausage or baked ham shine alongside the tropical, textured nature of this wine and make for a traditional Alsatian pairing when served alongside hearty root vegetables. The balanced acidity and rounded mouthfeel are best displayed when serving between 45-55°F, and compound to create depth and complexity with extended aging in bottle. Drink now to 2025.
