AROMAS & FLAVORS
Bright, clean, and refreshing are the defining qualities of this wine. Characters of orange blossom, lychee, lemon-lime, mango, and white peach are brought to life by the wine’s crisp acidity, making it a crowd-pleaser for special occasions or any night of the week.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Pinot Grigio is perfect as an apéritif as well as paired with many types of cuisine. Our favorite pairings include dishes such as seafood salad, pan-seared scallops, oysters on the half shell, or entrées with lively and spicy flavors.
HOW IT’S MADE
Individual lots of hand-harvested grapes are gently whole-cluster pressed to minimize any color or harsh tannin extraction, then racked to stainless steel tanks for cold fermentation. This wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation, so it retains its bright flavors and crisp acidity. Depth and complexity are enhanced with weekly lees stirring until bottling.
THE VINTAGE
The winter of 2022-2023 saw record rainfall, ending years of drought conditions in California. With below average temperatures in winter and spring, budbreak was significantly delayed. Continued cool weather through summer led to harvest beginning 2 weeks later than average, on August 29th. This gave the grapes ample time to develop full flavors while maintaining vibrant acidity. Our final pick of the season was on October 26th.
