Pinot Noir - Vin Gris

Pinot Noir - Vin Gris Wine Details
Price: $13.00 per bottle

Description: The Vin Gris is a dry rose style wine made entirely of Pinot Noir. Instead of 2 weeks (as with our Pinot Noirs) this wine spends a couple of hours in the press on skins and then goes to neutral French oak barrels for fermentation. This wine is outstanding as an aperitif, with spicy foods or on your boat on a warm afternoon. This is serious rosé and a favorite of the winery staff. 100% Estate Pinot Noir, pressed from the skins and barrel fermented to create a frefreshing dry rosé with strawberry and raspberry-like aromas, perfect for brunch or BBQ, especially in warm weather and outdoor settings. Lively fruit flavors and floral aromatics are buttressed by a racy minerality in the finish. Try with main course salads, sandwiches and picnic fare, or something exotic like a rich lamb curry. Also very compatible with a myriad of appetizers (spring rolls, fried ravioli, new potatoes with caviar, etc.)
