Pinot Gris and the 2024 Vintage

Tasting Note

The 2024 Pinot Gris showcases a delicate pale gold hue with enticing aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and subtle floral undertones. On the palate, it offers a harmonious blend of juicy stone fruits and crisp apple, complemented by a hint of minerality and balanced acidity. The finish is clean and refreshing, with a touch of citrus zest. This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, and fresh salads.

Vinifacation

The 2024 Pinot Gris was carefully crafted to preserve its fresh fruit character. The grapes were hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and immediately pressed to extract pure juice. Fermentation took place at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to retain the vibrant aromas and crisp acidity. A small portion was aged on fine lees for added complexity and texture, without undergoing malolactic fermentation, preserving its natural freshness. The result is a well-balanced wine with a lively, refreshing profile.
