2021 Terraces Pinot Gris
Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Pinot gris, clone 9, is exclusively planted on the hillside terraces with 3.3 acres.
Production Notes
Whole cluster pressed, fermented on native yeasts in 90% stainless tanks and 10% neutral oak barrels. Aged for 4 months before being bottled in April 2021.
Winemaker Notes
Delicate rose gold color invites a perfume of Jonagold apple, Yuzu fruit, and spicy clove. A gently polished texture with a hint of salinity leads to flavors of raw almond, orange/lemon zest, and candied ginger. Finishes with notes of poached pear and pineapple cake with a beam of acidity pushing through a generous frame. Our preferred “oyster wine.”
