Nose
A wine to relax with on a summer afternoon, vibrant aromas of lime leaf, fresh peach and lemon help make the day complete.
Palate
With a focused entry and a good weight, enjoy concentrated flavors of melon and tart stone fruit that move to a long and focused finish. The finish will open up and soften as the wine matures over the next few months.
Winemaking
After being handpicked and sorted, the grapes were whole cluster pressed. The 2015 Pinot Gris is blended from 75% free-run and 25% lightly pressed juice to best represent and preserve varietal complexity and character. 100% barrel fermented for 10 months, undergoing partial malolactic fermentation. Blended from just 10 barrels, a mixture of 30% new French oak and 70% neutral French oak. This wine will gain complexity for two years from vintage.
