Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: Our Gris is more stylistically allied with its Alsatian cousin than its Italian (Pinot Grigio) relative. Fifteen percent sur lie fermentation in neutral French oak imparts a roundness in the mouth that the more austere Grigios lack. Now the acknowledged partner with salmon out on the west coast, this GrisĀ¹ acidity and sparkling flavors enhance meals from Chinese tea smoked quail to linguine with clam sauce.

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.
