Winemaking Notes
This wine displays forward tropical fruit aromas, framed by a crisp and balanced acidity.
Tasting Notes
Our 2005 Pinot Grigio comes from two vineyards of the Alsatian clone. The cold fermentation temperatures promote and retain flowery ester aromas, and after 3 weeks the fermentations are complete. The result, tropical fruit aromas with subtle flinty notes, enhanced with fragrances of passion fruit, plantains and honey. The flavors of lemon custard and apple are framed by a crisp and balanced acidity with a long lingering finish.
