2024 Pinot Gris
Tasting Notes
The 2024 Pinot Gris displays flavors of pear, orange blossom, white peach and honeysuckle leading to a delightful vanilla-almond finish. Enjoy with salads, fruit, and cheese.Winemaker Notes
Pinot Gris (translated as “Pinot Grey”) has grey-purple hued grapes, but is usually made as a white wine. We make a slightly salmon-pink Pinot Gris, accentuated by the flavor extracting technique of skin contact. 2024 was a cooler year with a later spring and a relatively mild summer and fall, this allowed the grapes to reach full ripeness slowly while retaining fresh fruit & acidity. We destemmed and crushed the grapes then let them sit for a 24-hour cold soak before pressing. This cold soak and skin contact extracts aromatics and some color from the skins, we then pressed and inoculated with yeast. The wine fermented for 21 days at 55 degrees Fahrenheit and then let age in stainless steel tanks for 4 months before filtering and bottling.Wine Profile
