Our Pinot Grigio grapes were whole-cluster pressed on the same day they were picked. The juice was fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures to preserve the delicate fruit aromas, and each vineyard lot was kept separate until blending and bottling.
TASTING NOTES
Consistent with past vintages, our Italian-style Pinot Grigio exhibits aromas of apricot and Meyer lemon with delicate flavors of fresh white peach. Our 2018 vintage has refreshingly zesty citrus notes, lively texture, and the excellent balance we love in Pinot Grigio. Our goal is to make a lower alcohol wine with aromatics and a refreshing finish which can accompany a beautiful summer day or a nice seafood dinner.
