Production Notes:
Specific parcels of fruit were selected for the 2015 Black Label Pinot Gris. The grapes were harvested and quickly crushed. After settling, 80% of the juice was fermented in tank at various temperatures, and with various yeast, to capture varietal character and maintain freshness. The balance, 20%, was fermented in old French oak to increase the body and complexity of the wine.
Tasting Notes:
A captivating combination of spicy pear and pink grapefruit introduces the nose. Warm and full fruited with floral notes lifting up from the glass. The entry on the palate is full and generous. Granny smith apples, honey and pear unite beautifully with citrus. It has good length and weight and lovely texture. This is a well-balanced wine with a spicy dry finish with a touch of orange blossom.
