Winemaker Notes: 

"Fresh strawberry, white tea, and calla lily on the nose, bergamot citrus acidity with a subtle quinine-like texture from the skin contact.  Our Pinot Gris adventure began with our first release in 2013. Over the years, we’ve collaborated with different growers from diverse microclimates and terroirs throughout California. After a decade of working with the grape variety, in 2023, we transitioned to working with a single vineyard in the Suisun Valley, just southeast of Napa Valley. The Suisun Valley is an area you don’t hear about often, but for grape varieties like Pinot Gris, the region’s terroir perfectly suits it. Thanks to its gentle microclimate, alluvial clay loam soils, and organic farming practices. To preserve natural acidity, we harvested the grapes early and foot-stomped them for a three-day whole cluster cold soak, which enhanced their phenolic texture and added a delicate tannin and playful pink hue."
