Product notes
The 2019 vintage had a moderate growing season throughout spring and summer. Cooler temperatures meant harvest started later than normal in the first week of September. Harvest maintained a consistent steady pace, and the near-perfect temperatures and dry conditions allowed the grapes to fully ripen and mature slowly. The resulting wines show balanced flavors and excellent aromatics.
Production notes
After night and early morning harvesting, we whole cluster pressed the grapes to preserve the purity of the juice. It was then cold fermented for several weeks in stainless steel tanks to fully capture the bright fruit expression of Pinot Grigio. The fruit for our 2019 Pinot Grigio was sourced from vineyards where warm days and cool nights provided ideal ripening conditions for grapes to develop bright, ripe fruit flavors and crisp acidity. The grapes were harvested at night and in the early morning to preserve ideal acidity and sugar levels. Harvest ran from September through October 2019.
Tasting notes
Our 2019 Pinot Grigio is light straw in color and opens with aromas of honeydew melon, orange blossom, Bartlett pear, and a flinty minerality. Ripe fruit flavors of honeydew, ripe melon, mineral, and citrus follow. The body shows crisp acidity with an easy entry and a subtle clean, lingering finish. Enjoy our Pinot Grigio with fish tacos, Chinese chicken salad, and seafood pasta.
