Van Duzer Estate Pinot Gris, 2023

Oregon, (Willamette Valley AVA)

100% Pinot Gris

12.7%

 

From The Winemaker: "Our Pinot Gris is planted in the southeast portion of our property, offering steady, controlled winds coming from the Pacific Ocean. In 2022, heavy rains in the spring and into summer helped the vines flourish. The summer heat led to smaller berries resulting in an intense concentration of flavor."

 

TASTING NOTES: This wine opens with a mix of floral notes and fruit. Upon first sip you are greeted by lemon zest and orange blossom that give way to notes of melon, apple, Asian pear, and a playful hint of nectarine leading to a bright and lingering finish.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Enjoy this refreshing wine as an aperitif or with a variety of food pairings including Oregon Dungeness crab, grilled salmon, baked white fish with basil tapenade, seasonal salads, and medium cheeses.
