Tasting Notes: Light yellow straw color. The aroma is a Pinot Gris dream come true! Vibrant floral notes and white peach and citrus are beautifully interlaced with fresh yeast and an elegant creaminess.The mouth-feel is elegant and crisp with great play between minerality and acidity balanced by bright fruit and a wonderful viscosity. The finish is long leaving a fine flintiness and although a dry wine there is a fantastic lush fruit sensation. Technical Notes: · 95% Pinot Gris grown on the North Fork at Indian Neck Farm. · 5% Chardonnay Wölffer 88West Block Davis Clone 3 Following an outstanding growing season the Pinot Gris was hand picked on September 20. The yield was low at 2.5 tons per acre insuring that every cluster was exposed to the sun. The grapes were handled gently and pressed; the juice was chilled down to 50° and well settled followed by a cool fermentation (64°) in stainless steel for 17 days. At dryness the young wine was racked and aged on the fine lees for a total of 2 months. Malolactic fermentation was completely avoided to keep the vibrancy and fruit forwardness. The wine was bottled at the end of February 2008 resulting in the exclusive number of only 242 cases. Serving Suggestions: Serve slightly chilled. The lush and vibrant mouth-feel combined with the elegant acidity will enhance all fish and white meat dishes as well as match perfectly with Asian dishes.
