2008 VENTANA PINOT GRIS

Ventana’s Pinot Gris shows a beautiful, light golden hue. It has an enticing delicate aroma of orange blossoms that delights the senses. Rich rounded and full bodied, flavors of lime and orange first greet the palate followed by crisp apple then complemented with spicy pear on the medium to dry finish.

Ventana grows the Pinot Gris in an area of the Vineyard that is very gravelly, with little soil. This makes the vines struggle for water and results in small berries with intense flavor.

After gentle pressing, Reggie settles the juice for 36-48 hours. Next step is to rack into tanks where we ferment cool. Fermentation lasted 5 weeks for optimum fresh flavors.

Pair this easy sipper with light pasta, chicken or seafood.
