Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: Pinot Grigio is a real award winning wine for us. Currently we are producing one version of this famous wine, one that more closely matches the wines of Alsace and Oregon. This is a rich, full bodied and very complex dry wine, fermented in stainless and a wine well matched to pasta and seafood dishes. Steve the wine grower, prefers this wine to all others for mouth feel and pleasure in the glass. As our new plantings of this grape come on line, we will also produce a Pinot Grigio more closely styled after the crisp, steely versions popularized by the wines of the Veneto.

Varietal Definition
Pinot Grigio/Gris:
Pinkish-white variety producing a very crisp white wine. Grown in Oregon, the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and more and more in California, it shows promise for other cool climates. Also known as Tokay d'Alsace in France, Rulander in Germany, and Pinot Grigio in Italy.
