Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: Very fresh aromas of minerals and intense stone fruits. Sumptuous flavors of peaches and minerals on a medium bodied frame. Excellent framing acidity throughout. Vibrant and racy, this wine is structured in the traditional French Alsacien style rather than the lighter Pinot Grigios of Italy. Very well balanced, this wine will provide excellent drinking over the next few years.

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.
