Willamette Pinot Gris

Description

Depth of extract, richness, big mouthfeel but with elegance and ability to age. The grapes were picked at peak ripeness and the whole clusters were then lightly pressed. The must was cold settled and racked to another stainless steel tank where it was inoculated with 3 special strains of yeast which promote a rich mouth feel. Fermentation lasted approximately 5 weeks at 55-60 degrees F. The wine was sur-lee aged, stirring the tank twice monthly.This layered and well-balanced wine is a great accompaniment to a variety of foods including Grilled Halibut with Mango Salsa, Chicken Piccata or Saffron Rice with Honey and Raisins.” – Willamette Valley Vineyards
