Odyssey Pinot Gris

Odyssey Pinot Gris Wine Details
Price: $21.99 per bottle

Description: The Pinot Gris grapes used in this Odyssey Series wine were harvested from the original vines planted at Gray Monk in 1976. The small crop of grapes was picked at over 25 Brix, yielding roughly 2 tons per acre. A special yeast strain was chosen to enhance fruit flavours. This polished wine begins with a silvery peach hue with green glints. The fresh and clean aroma and the flavours suggest tropical fruits and herbs, with a hint of anise on the crisply dry finish. Serve chilled with seafood, chicken, turkey, and pasta with cream sauce.

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.
