Description:
At the winery, we hand sorted the grapes again for a final inspection before filling the press with whole clusters. During pressing,we separated the hard press juice from the free-run and light press juices to minimize harsh phenol and color extraction from the pinkish-reddish skins. After settling and racking the must from gross lees, the juice was inoculated with yeast and slowly fermented in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature. Then it was aged on its fine lees for five months to add complexity and richness.We preserved the freshness of this wine and the full expression of the varietal characteristics by forgoing malolactic fermentation and barrel aging.With a light straw color, this Pinot Gris displays a bright fruity nose with aromas of lemon zest, green apple and spicy, mineral nuances.The rich, almost mouth-coating palate is layered with fresh-fruit flavors of citrus, pear and melon. Grapefruit and white pepper notes give a twist to the finish. Lively acidity and pleasant fruitiness make it an excellentmatch with food and a great alternative to Chardonnay.
