Winemaking The vision of this wine focuses on aromas and flavors of apple, pear and citrus that can age into honey and baking spice. This refreshing wine – dry and crisp with balancing, but not searing, acidity – finishes round and drinks easy. The grapes were picked at peak ripeness and the whole clusters were lightly pressed. The must was cold-settled and racked to stainless steel tanks where it was inoculated with a strain of yeast that promotes fruit-forward crispness and a rich mouthfeel. Fermentation lasted approximately five weeks at 55-60 degrees F. The wine was sur lee aged.

Tasting Notes Pale yellow in color, the soft aromatics of blossom, lime-citrus and pear lend to a fresh and fruit-driven Pinot Gris. The palate is dry to off-dry and the alcohol and body are balanced, providing ripe flavors of apple, tropical citrus and melon with a hint of minerality.
Selling Point balanced dry, crisp and acidity which makes it refreshing

The Story
Pinot Gris was first introduced to the Willamette Valley in the late 1960s by The Eyrie Vineyards Founder David Lett, whom we affectionately call "Papa Pinot." Our first cuttings of Pinot Gris came from David’s groundbreaking work, representing the first commercial planting of this variety in North America.
About Willamette Valley Vineyards
Producer Story
Founded in 1983 by Oregon native Jim Bernau with the dream of creating world-class Pinot Noir. Jim cleared
away an old pioneer plum orchard in the Salem Hills and watered the vines by hand using 17 lengths of
garden hose to get the grapelings through their first summer. Willamette Valley Vineyards has grown from
a bold idea into one of the region’s leading wineries, earning the title “One of America’s Great Pinot Noir
Producers” from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
