A Golden Delicious apple the size of St. Louis casts its aromatic shadow over this Pinot Gris. The wine smells fresh and lively, with a talc note joining the wine's apple-palooza. There's some surprising body here as crisp acidity attempts to corral tart flavors like kaffir lime and tangerine. Pair with open sky and a croque monsieur.
 
Winemaker Notes
As a clonal mutation of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris exhibits some red fruit character and texture depending treatment in the winery. Our version, created in an Alsatian style, exhibits fuller body and balanced minerality due to extended lees contact making it the ideal pairing for hard cheeses and charcuterie, fattier fish dishes, rich pastas, and roasted chicken. Smoked sausage or baked ham shine alongside the tropical, textured nature of this wine and make for a traditional Alsatian pairing when served alongside hearty root vegetables. The balanced acidity and rounded mouthfeel are best displayed when serving between 45-55°F, and compound to create depth and complexity with extended aging in bottle. Drink now to 2025.
