Palate
Our 2021 Pinot Grigio starts with a lovely floral, citrus nose and a slight honeydew and vanilla finish. Bright and soft, like a ray of afternoon sunshine. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the full mouth feel with balanced acidity that lends tartness; like biting into a white nectarine. The finish has hints of agave. It’s the perfect wine for a hot summer day. Tart, embracing, and refreshing.
Growing Conditions
Our Pinot Grigio vineyards are located in the rolling hills and warm climate of California’s Central Coast. As a winemaker, Janell discovered that she prefers Pinot Grigio grown in warmer climates. She feels they make for an approachable and balanced wine with the perfect amount of acidity and bright fruit.
Winemaking
anell Dusi is the proprietor and winemaker, specializing in Zinfandel. She is a fourth generation farmer who was the first of the family to go beyond farming to produce signature wines from their vineyards. Janell honors her heritage by winemaking in the most native form. Her signature style is non-invasive wine handling. She chooses to age this Pinot Grigio in stainless steel to showcase the bright fruit and natural acidity of this varietal. Her winemaking style respects and reveals the natural varietal characteristics of Pinot Grigio.
