Shades of Pinot: White Pinot Noir

Terry Culton, Director of Winemaking & Vineyards, shares his winemaking methods for our White Pinot Noir.

Terry’s Notes

• To achieve the white-style, fruit coming in from harvest is gently pressed. The first free-run juices are clearest and set aside for White Pinot Noir.

• This is the same method used to make Champagne or méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines – gold wines made from red Pinot Noir fruit.

• White Pinot Noir has the weight and mouthfeel of red wine, but the soul of white wine.
