Woo-hoo, it's the brand new vintage of one of our favorite white wines every year- and this is the best vintage yet!!
100% organic Pinot Gris- and this isn't your Grandma's boring, flabby PG! This crisp, high acid white is full of green apple and citrus notes with a mineral-tinged finish of wet stone and briny sea air. The lees aging and neutral barrel fermentation add some textural complexity and prevent it from feeling too lean in the mouth. This vintage saw a little longer skin contact, giving a slightly more pinkish rosy hue and a little more fruit than previous vintages. We love this wine and all agreed this is the best vintage we've ever tasted!
