2022 Pinot Gris
Pinot Gris was first introduced into the United States from France by David Lett, who planted Pinot Gris in the North Willamette Valley at The Eyrie Vineyards. Founder Jim Bernau got his first cuttings of Pinot Gris as a result of David's innovative work. Pinot Gris is now Oregon's leading white variety.
On the Nose: The wine gracefully incorporates blonde tones with lucidity in the glass. Aromas of guava, passion fruit and honeysuckle balance with a natural minerality from the local terroir.
On the Palate: The fresh flavors of golden apple, pear and melon invite the consumer to experience in tandem both aroma and taste. The perceived sweetness and natural acidity show a balance to the wine with a rich, mid-palate and lingering finish.
Food Pairings: Enjoy this refreshing dry white wine as an aperitif or with a variety of food pairings including Oregon Dungeness crab, grilled salmon, baked white fish with basil tapenade. Seasonal salads and medium cheeses.
