Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: This wine exhibits light, golden straw color and complex aromas of honey, ripe melon, pear, and mineral. Round, rich flavors of pear and melon balance a long finish with excellent texture and ripe citrus flavors. Slightly less sweet than the previous vintage, this Pinot Gris exemplifies a great balance of richness and acidity pairing perfectly with a variety of edibles. The soft, round residual sugars of this wine further complements dishes with a hint of heat or can be enjoyed as an aperitif.

Varietal Definition

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.
