Wine Description

This sumptuous Pinot Gris presents a delicate sensory profile, opening with aromas of Nashi pear, green melon, and subtle hints of white stone. On the palate, it offers a bright and pleasingly plush mouthful of jasmine flower, Meyer lemon, and shortbread, leading to a finish that is both up-tempo and thirst-quenching. The wine is crafted in an unadulterated style with no wood or malolactic fermentation, preserving a light-to-medium body characterized by its freshness, vibrant acidity, and balanced complexity.
