Pinot Gris Estate

Pinot Gris Estate Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: Stainless steel fermented with three selected yeast strains to maintain a crisp, fruity style. There is no malolactic fermentation, and a slight hint of residual sugar balances the bright palate and mineral backbone. For both sipping or enjoying with meals, this is a Pinot Gris that appeals to a broad range of palates. The fruitiness in the wine is a bridge for beginning palates who have mainly experienced sweeter white wines and would like to broaden their wine experience. The mineral phenolic backbone characteristic of Coleman Vineyard Pinot Gris appeals to more experienced drinkers and those who look for particular wines to pair with food.

Varietal Definition
Pinot Grigio/Gris:
Pinkish-white variety producing a very crisp white wine. Grown in Oregon, the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and more and more in California, it shows promise for other cool climates. Also known as Tokay d'Alsace in France, Rulander in Germany, and Pinot Grigio in Italy.
