This Pinot Gris is delicately expressive, with notes of pear, nectarines, and tangerine, a creamy mouthful, and a balance of sweetness and bright acidity.
Expressive but delicate nose of pears, apple blossom, and nectarine. The palate shows more intensity with pears, nectarine and light tangerine notes. Creamy mouthfeel defined by light grip on the finish. Incredibly delicacy and balance between sweetness and bright acidity.
The “East Six” block of our Creekside Estate Vineyard is a newer planting on our Estate vineyard that is really coming into its own and expressing itself beautifully. This was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed for delicate extraction. Made in a richer style with most of it fermented and aged in older French oak barrels (one new) and some in stainless steel. The fermentation was stopped early to leave a bit of residual sugar for balance and authenticity to the Alsatian style of Pinot Gris.
